commifying charts generated from GD::Graph::lines?

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

I am graphing some large numbers with GD::Graph::lines which caused GD::Graph to extrapolate y-axis values such as "10000000".

It sure would be swell if I could get these values commified as in "10,000,000". Is there a way to get GD::Graph to commify the values it auto-generates to label the axes?

Thanks for any candor shared.

Anonymous Monk: GD::Graph offers you the x_number_format and y_number_format hooks in which you could plug the commifying code. Read the docs under the 'Options for graphs with axes' section for an example. Disclaimer: I have never used GD::Graph, so this is just what I can guess from a quick look at the documentation for the module... ...roboticus	[reply]

Thanks for your reply! y_number_format worked as advertized.	[reply]

I came across Tie::Comma the other day just browsing CPAN. Not sure if it will work, but maybe a good place to start. Jamie	[reply]
