All numbers and time information must comply with the user’s locale settings. For this purpose, you must use the following:

• SAPUI5 number formatters
• SAPUI5 date formatters
• SAPUI5 time formatters

Numbers

• Value axis
• Plot area (value labels that are displayed close to the data points)
• Popover
• Tooltip
• Value-based legend
• Legend for the bubble size

Time

All dates and times must comply with the user’s locale setting. Dates and times can be visible in the following areas:

• Time axis
• Categorical axis (if you use standard categories for dates or times)
• Popover
• Tooltip

Developer Hint

In order to use UI5 formats in the chart, you must use the sap.viz.ui5.format.ChartFormatter. Just add the 2 lines:

• var formatterInstance = sap.viz.ui5.format.ChartFormatter.getInstance();
• sap.viz.ui5.api.env.Format.numericFormatter(formatterInstance);

The ChartFormatter comes with some predefined UI5 patterns listed in “sap.viz.ui5.format.ChartFormatter.DefaultPattern”. Therefore you can use them directly. They will be correctly localized.

Nevertheless, if you need a format pattern than is not in the list, you need to create your own pattern and register it by using registerCustomFormatter.
