TextSpec.setFormat(format)
Specifies how date or numeric data should be represented in string format for display.
Parameter
format a java.text.Format object
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)
dataset = [["State","Quantity"],["NJ",20000],["NY",30000]];
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var qscale = new LinearScale("Quantity");
var aspec = new AxisSpec();
var tspec = new TextSpec();
tspec.setFormat(java.text.DecimalFormat("##,###.00"));
aspec.setTextSpec(tspec);
qscale.setAxisSpec(aspec);
graph.setScale("Quantity", qscale);
graph.addElement(elem);

Date masks follow the java.text.SimpleDateFormat format.
Date Format: For date formatting, use the following date masks:
M = Month
d = date
y = year
E = day of the week
Example:
For the date Nov 8, 2006:
M = 11; MM = 11; MMM = Nov; MMMM = November
d = 8; dd = 08;
yy = 06; yyyy = 2006
EEE = Wed
EEEE = Wednesday
Therefore, mask 'MMM-dd-yyyy' yields “Nov-08-2006.”
Numeric masks follow the java.text.DecimalFormat format.
Number Format: For number formatting, use the following numeric masks:
# = number
0 = Number with zero padding
Example:
For the number 124521.63:
#,###.## yields 124,521.63
#,###.000 yields 124,521.630
Text Format: For text formatting, use {0} as a placeholder for the string data.
Example:
For the string 'Susan':
“Salesperson: {0}” yields: “Salesperson: Susan”
“--{0}--” yields: “--Susan--”
