Title: Chart v_axis syntax Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Chart v_axis syntax * Resolved [ZenEntSEA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenentsea/) * (@zenentsea) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/) * I am trying to customize a line chart. I would like to have ticks at 9, 18 & 27. But when I use this code `chart_v_axis='{"ticks":"9,18,27", "gridlines":{" color": "#202020"}}'` I get ticks on 1, 2, 7, 8 & 9. The gridlines color code works fine. * Could you tell me what syntax I can use to make sure its not ignoring the commas? Am I missing something obvious? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-google-spreadsheet-viewer/) Viewing 6 replies - 16 through 21 (of 21 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/?output_format=md) 2 * Thread Starter [ZenEntSEA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenentsea/) * (@zenentsea) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/page/2/#post-6703718) * Thanks so much…. but, * On my page its still not reading the URL encodes properly. I’m getting ticks on 1,2,5,7,8,9, which looks like its stripping the endodes and only seeing their numbers, and adding ticks for them. * Damn this is a tough one! * BTW, I read your profile, and assure you I am not “pro-capitalism”. I’m a small business owner who escaped my corporate overlords 10 years ago. But I get it now, after reading your story.

It sounds like you’re trying to represent three different visualizations in one chart. Why not just use three charts? The `ticks` option is for specifying what shows up as markers for a particular scale on a particular axis. * You could: - Split your data into three sheets. - Split the display of your data (residing on one sheet) into three charts by applying an appropriate `query`. * Ultimately, if there is a problem with `ticks`, that’s its own issue and I still haven’t explored your test case. But given your goal, I don’t even think using the `ticks` option makes sense, so…. * Plugin Author [Meitar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meitar/) * (@meitar) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/page/2/#post-6703722) * > BTW, I read your profile, and assure you I am not “pro-capitalism”.

Cheers. * Also, “a small business owner who has escaped corporate overlords” is an oxymoron( obviously), but that’s neither here nor there in terms of the `ticks` option. 😛 * Thread Starter [ZenEntSEA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenentsea/) * (@zenentsea) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chart-v_axis-syntax/page/2/#post-6703723) * Hmmm…. I think I’ll stick with ticks and hope for a solution. * I can’t split the data into 3 charts. My use is to rank 27 players, as they progress through a series of competitions. But they all need to appear on the same chart at once, since they move from the bottom, to the middle and top, and all over through the course of the competitions over 12 weeks, and the chart is to track them as they progress through it. * Let me if/when you get a chance to look at the test case. * (I guess I should have said I’m a “sole proprietor”, as I do not have any employees, or have a desire to own a company that does. Just me.)
