Time for action — setting up a number scale to understand billions as well
1. Create a copy of
ChartBackground.html
andChartBackground.xml
, and rename them toCustomNumScale.html
andCustomNumScale.xml
respectively.2. Add the attributes
numberScaleValue='1000,1000,1000' numberScaleUnit='K,M,B'
to the<chart>
element.3. Add three zeroes to each of the three revenue figures so that the new number scale consisting of billions can kick in.
What just happened?
We just created a number scale to convert all the numbers in the chart to K, M, and B. Here's how the conversion works in simpler terms:
1000 = 1K
1000 K=1M
1000 M=1B
The same has been explained to the chart using numberScaleValue='1000,1000,1000' numberScaleUnit='K,M,B'
. Essentially, what it means for the chart is, convert any number on the scale of 1000 to K, any number on the scale of 1000x1000 to M (the next value in numberScaleUnit)
, and any number on the scale of 1000x1000x1000 to B (the last value in numberScaleUnit)
. The only...
