Have replied to Pat privately, but we're working on an extension to do this
and hope to add something in soon.

Subject: [reportlab-users] barLabelFormat for negative numbers
I admit I'm a newbie to reportlabs.
The issue is that the graphs I'm trying to make have positive and negative
data out to 2 decimal places (example 19.33, -12.42, -3.03, 5.00). If the
data is negative I need to format the bar labels to dispaly the value as an
absolute value inside parenthesis and red, if possible (example (12.42) and
(3.03)). If the number is postivie, display the number as is, in black.
The only examples I've been able to find in the documentation and on the
web have simplistic examples like '%d' and '$%d'. I did find one discussion
about def_formatHour(self, seconds) but didn't understand it...didn't get
what the "3D" was all about.
Can anyone help me, please.
Thanks so much
