GD::Graph - how to overrule the display labels of x and y axes?

vanstra has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I'm having a graph made with GD::Graph::lines. Does anyone know if there is a way to overrule the 'display' values of the x and y axes ? The graph is calculated with some values but I want to show % values (from 0 to 100%) on both axes. These % values are only layout related. Now the default calculated values are always displayed.

GD::Graph has the options x_number_format and y_number_format that will create the tick label passed on whatever sub you want to give to it (so it doesn't even have to be a number). -- brian d foy <bdfoy@cpan.org>	[reply]

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I didn't know that the y_number_format (also x_number_format) also pass a label which doesn't have to be a number. Thanks.	[reply]

Just scale the data values to 0-100 before submitting them to plot(). Change your axis labels accordingly.	[reply]

Before trying that, I was hoping there is an easier way of doing this.	[reply]
