Description

Hi,

currently automatic DateTimeScale uses hard-coded date/time formats within WAxis::getLabelTicks() function. Add a protected

protected:
    virtual Wt::WString autoDataFormat(const WDateTime& dt, DateTimeUnit unit, bool atTick);

and use the current hard-coded formats as a default implementation.

See the attached patches. Note I just wrote down the changes but did not compiled or tested it.

Hi,

today I have changed WAxis to be able to call a user-defined autoDateFormat() function. I realized that a protected function does not work, since the WAxis instances are members of the chart. Therefore a introduced a setAutoDateFormat(boost::function fn) method which can be used to set a delegate method.

I would really like to see this feature included into Wt!

Regards,

Stefan

Hey,

Perhaps the virtual function is better; but then we simply need to change how we store WAxis in WCartesianChart (i.e. with pointer) and provide setAxis() functions?

In that way, the same functionality can be made available in Java as well (which doesn't have function objects).

Hi Keon,

currently we use the provided patch to add this functionality to wt-3.3.2 which we currently use for production. I have no problem to change it to a virtual function when upgrading to wt-3.3.4.

Regards,

Stefan
