D3: Formatting tick value. To show B (Billion) instead of G (Giga)
If you like the formatting of SI-prefix, but not the actual prefix, just swap it out with a simple .replace
:
var f = d3.format("0.2s");
document.write(
f(1e9).replace(/G/,"B")
);
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
If you want to apply Mark's Answer Globally, I used the following
fcopy = d3.format;
function myFormat(){
function_ret = fcopy.apply(d3, arguments)
return (function(args){return function (){
return args.apply(d3, arguments).replace(/G/, "B");
}})(function_ret)
}
d3.format = myFormat;
I had the same problem with Superset, I added this in the static/dashboard file.
