I doubt you're missing anything. If you
say within a -*label()- option
.375 "37.5%"
you are saying that even though the
number is really .375 you want a display
of "37.5%". This is a self-knitted percent
format on the fly.
---------------------------------------------
I don't see it. Here is an example -do- to generate a simple bar chart.
If I can avoid using -text- I would. But I don't see how to apply a
label change. I'm probably missing something, but I tried, more time
than I care to admit.
