apNumberInteger - Displays a number as an integer. If the actual number is fractional, it will be rounded.

apNumberFixed - Displays a fixed real number with a specified number of decimal places. The default is 6 if precision is not specified.

apNumberScientific - Displays a number in scientific notation with a specified number of decimal places. The default is 6 if precision is not specified.

apNumberCompact - Defines an automatic way to use either apNumberFixed or apNumberScientific formats based on the size of the value. Precision information indicates the exponent to start displaying in scientific format.

Example

Precision = 5

The value 100,000 displays as 1e+005

10,000 displays as 10000.


The compact type also truncates trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point.

Example

10.0 displays as 10 and 10.10 displays as 10.1.

apNumberAbsoluteTime - Interprets a number as the number of seconds since 00:00 GMT on January 1, 1970.

Example

A fixed axis has limits of 0 to 90.

The lower limit is January 1, 1970 12:00:00 AM.

The upper limit is 90 seconds later, January 1, 1970 12:01:30 AM.

Time Format String Notation

You need to specify the time format to display. The format is a string with one or more of the following elements. If you use spaces to separate the elements in the format string, these spaces will appear in the same location in the output string. The letters must be in uppercase or lowercase as shown (for example, "ss", not "SS"). Characters in the format string that are enclosed in single quotation marks will appear in the same location and unchanged in the output string.

Elements	Description
d	Day of month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit days.
dd	Day of month as digits with leading zero for single-digit days.
ddd	Day of week as a three-letter abbreviation.
dddd	Day of week as its full name.
M	Month as digits with no leading zero for single-digit months.
MM	Month as digits with leading zero for single-digit months.
MMM	Month as a three-letter abbreviation.
MMMM	Month as its full name.
y	Year as last two digits, but with no leading zero for years less than 10.
yy	Year as last two digits, but with leading zero for years less than 10.
yyyy	Year represented by full four digits.
h	Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock).
hh	Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock).
H	Hours with no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
HH	Hours with leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock).
m	Minutes with no leading zero for single-digit minutes.
mm	Minutes with leading zero for single-digit minutes.
s	Seconds with no leading zero for single-digit seconds.
ss	Seconds with leading zero for single-digit seconds.
t	One character time marker string, such as A or P.
tt	Multicharacter time marker string, such as AM or PM.

Example

To display 01/01/1999 12:05:00 AM, use the following format string: MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt.

apNumberRelativeTime - Interprets a number as an elapsed time value in seconds. You can use ApRelativeTimeEnum to select the time format you want to display.

apNumberCustom - Uses a format string in the standard C language format notation to display a number.

apNumberAbsoluteTimeEx - This format type is equivalent to the Date type in CimView scripting or Visual Basic. It interprets a date and time from the value of the 8-byte floating point number. Days are represented by whole number increments starting with 30 December 1899 GMT. Hour values are expressed as the absolute value of the fractional part of the number starting at midnight with a value of 0.

Examples

January 4, 1900 12:00 AM has a value of 5.00
January 4, 1900 06:00 AM has a value of 5.25
January 4, 1900 12:00 PM has a value of 5.50
January 4, 1900 09:00 PM has a value of 5.875

Time Format String Notation

You need to specify the time format to display. The format argument consists of one or more of the following codes. The formatting codes are preceded by a percent sign (%). Characters that do not begin with % are displayed unchanged.

Format Code	Description
%a	Abbreviated weekday name
%A	Full weekday name
%b	Abbreviated month name
%B	Full month name
%c	Date and time representation appropriate for locale
%d	Day of month as decimal number (01 - 31)
%H	Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23)
%I	Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12)
%j	Day of year as decimal number (001 - 366)
%m	Month as decimal number (01 - 12)
%M	Minute as decimal number (00 - 59)
%p	Current locales A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
%S	Second as decimal number (00 - 59)
%U	Week of year as decimal number, with Sunday as first day of week (00 - 53)
%w	Weekday as decimal number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0)
%W	Week of year as decimal number, with Monday as first day of week (00 - 53)
%x	Date representation for current locale
%X	Time representation for current locale
%y	Year without century, as decimal number (00 - 99)
%Y	Year with century, as decimal number
%z, %Z	Time-zone name or abbreviation; no characters if time zone is unknown
%%	Percent sign

The # flag may prefix any formatting code. In that case, the meaning of the format code is changed as follows:

Format Code	Meaning
%#a, %#A, %#b, %#B, %#p, %#X, %#z, %#Z, %#%	# flag is ignored.
%#c	Long date and time representation, appropriate for current locale. For example: "Tuesday, March 14, 1995, 12:41:29".
%#x	Long date representation, appropriate to current locale. For example: "Tuesday, March 14, 1995".
%#d, %#H, %#I, %#j, %#m, %#M, %#S, %#U, %#w, %#W, %#y, %#Y	Remove leading zeros (if any).
