As you probably know, many European countries (for instance, Italy) use commas instead of decimal points.

Datagraph 2.2.3 does not support the use of commas, but the main national reviews and journals usually do not publish graphs with decimal points.

Is there a way to overcome this problem? Is there a chance to have it fixed in upcoming updates? Thanks for your kind answer.

I am aware of that, and let me see if I can fix this.

What I wan to do is to standardize on the . as a decimal separator when storing numbers in the table. Then you should be able to specify that you want a comma to be used for displaying numbers.

I worked towards that in the current beta. What I did was to add a menu in the style settings where you can switch between a period or a comma as the decimal separator. This should then be used for all numbers that are displayed. At this point however it is not going to affect the table display. But it will affect the axes and numbers in labels, legends etc.

I just uploaded a new beta.

Just downladed and tested it. So happy to see that someone works to find solutions and to respond customers' needs so quickly. Great programme! Flexible and easy to use. Best ever at that price.
