Re: Using custom Formatter to format vAxis text.

[asgallant]

There is no way to do this in the API.

Hello Everyone,

From the documentation I found that one can use vAxis:{ format: '...' } to format numbers that are displayed on vAxis as text.

However, I need to perform calculation (ICU pattern set doesn't cut it - tell me if I'm wrong). In my case - convert seconds (Integer), to HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS.

I have a custom formatter that does that to format columns in google.visualization.DataTable and the formatted Integers are displayed in toolTip correctly.

Is there a way to apply custom formatter for vAxis? I tried `vAxis:{ format: new elapseTimeFormatter() }` - it didn't work.

If not, what would be an alternative/workaround to achieve the formatting describes above.

Thank you.

Sorry for the huge Necro.

I have this exact same problem. I understand the API doesn't really support it. Can anyone suggest a workaround?

In case anyone finds this in the future, we worked around this.

We were table to customize the vAxis format by dynamically generating an object for vAxis.ticks. We had to re-implement a few things you get with other formats for free but it worked out okay.
