[reportlab-users] Making use of N/A feature in bargraphs

[Andy Robinson]

Larry, thanks for the earlier docco patches which I will try to
apply tomorrow.  Going from memory (I'll check for real if
these don't work):

None

Most of our 'format' options accept either a format string
e.g. "%0.2f", or a function (or callable) which takes
strings as arguments.  So you could make a function
like this, which displays 'N/A' for None,
and set it as the value:

   def displayLabel(data):
       if data is None:
           return 'N/A'
       else:
           return '%0.2f' % data

Also check out reportlab\lib\formatters which has a configurable
object you can use for money or decimal formats.  It would be
logical to give this an 'N/A' option you could toggle on,
or to inherit from it.

HTH,

Andy
