AxisSpec.setAbbreviate(boolean)

Specifies that the common prefix of TimeScale labels should be omitted to conserve space. This property is only observed when a Date format is specified.

Parameter

boolean true: drop common prefixes

false: do not drop prefixes

Note: Script that modifies 'graph' should be placed at the element level. See Adding Element-Level Script in Report Scripting and Adding Component Script in Dashboard Scripting for more information.

Example (Report or Viewsheet)

var date1 = new Date();

var date2 = new Date();

date1.setFullYear(2008,0,1);

date2.setFullYear(2008,10,1);

dataset = [["Date", "Quantity"], [date1,200], [date2,300]];

graph = new EGraph();

var elem = new IntervalElement("Date", "Quantity");

var tscale = new TimeScale("Date");

var aspec = new AxisSpec();

var tspec = new TextSpec();

tspec.setFormat(java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyy-MMM'));

aspec.setTextSpec(tspec);

aspec.setAbbreviate(true);

tscale.setAxisSpec(aspec);

graph.setScale("Date", tscale);

graph.addElement(elem);
