How to format the values on the x axis. See here for more information on formatters.

Valid values are:

integer() - plot the values as integers.
floatingpoint() - plot the values as floating point values.
floatingpoint(min,max), where min and max define the minimum and maximum number of decimal places
currency() - plot the values as currencies. The currency formatting depends on the lang attribute.
currency(locale - plot the values as currencies in the specied Locale. Locale is of the form la-CO, where la is the language and CO is the country - for example en-US or fr-FR.
percentage() - plot the values as percentages, with one decimal place
percentage(num) - plot the values as percentages with the specified number of decimal places.
simple(format) - plot the values using the specified java.text.DecimalFormat
date() - plot date values on the x axis using the format dd MMM yyyy
date(format) - plot date values on the x axis using the specified java.text.SimpleDateFormat
none - don't plot values on the x axis.

The default depends on the data being plotted - if all the specified values are integers, the default will be integer(), otherwise it's floatingpoint().
