Charts - comma as a decimal separator

Dear RapidMiner community,

could you please instruct me onhow to set comma as a decimal separator for values shown on the chart?

As far as I understand from the tooltip under Axis style -> Labels style [Label value format] there is a way to format numbers appearing on charts, but I am not able to use this hint.

Additionally: what are available options for formatting chart numbers? Where can I find the overview? Any documentation on that available?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards
Maciej Pankiewicz

    Hi,

    you can't do it in RapidMiner but you can export a chart as a SVG (scalable vector graphics) image which is an XML document. Then you can search and replace the text objects (e. g. => value).

    thank you for your answer. Indeed, exporting as a svg file and editing an xml may be a work around - seems to be faster than putting commas directly on the graphics ;-)

    我试图创建一个替换点智慧的过程h commas using the ReadXML operator, but had some difficulties with the XPath section for identifying appropriate XML elements. Would you also be able to help me with that?

    Best regards

    Dear Maciek,

    I don't know how I would solve this with Read XML, as there's no corresponding Write XML. However, it is possible with Read Document, Replace Tokens and Write Document, all from the Text Processing extension.

    Example:
          inputFile /tmp/iris.svg   outputFile /tmp/iris-commas.svg                                   Reads a chart file produced by the RapidMiner SVG export and changes (hopefully only) axis labels to use a decimal comma instead of the decimal point.<br/><br/>Enter the input and output filenames in the process context.


    Of course, processing XML with regular expressions is a sure path to hilarious errors but in this case it produced meaningful output for me.

    @maciekhave you tried the Plot Data Operator? you can find it under Extensions/Animated Plots extensions. If you don´t have it try searching on the Marketplace.
