jqPlot, char names for Y-axis Ticks

Question

This is my first asked-myself question on stackoverflow - a site that has helped me so many times already. Please be understanding :) I have problems with jqPlot that looks really simple, but its seems not to be. I want to give static char names in Y axis (ticks). Y-axis values comes from real height on the Y-axis. I would like to create names like: value 1, value 2, value 3, value 4, value 5... instead of (for example) 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 7.0, 100.0... Is it possible with jqPlot configuration alone. I could not see option as such, but maybe there is one, and I will feel ashamed :). Thank you in advance for any help. (EDIT) Here is the FULL code I used: ``` var plot2 = $.jqplot('chart2', [line_oczekiwana_srednia, line_sd_plus_1, line_sd_plus_2, line_sd_plus_3, line_sd_plus_4, line_sd_minus_1, line_sd_minus_2, line_sd_minus_3, line_sd_minus_4, line1, line_WEST4, ], { animate: true, title:'OLYMPUS LEVEL 1 0029 : Kontrola biochemii. Typ materiału: Surowica', axes:{ xaxis:{ renderer:$.jqplot.D…

Accepted Answer

You can specify the ticks as `[val, label]` pairs. Note that they must be ordered properly.

```
$(document).ready(function(){
    var plot1 = $.jqplot ('chart1', [[3,7,1,4,6]],{
           axes: {
                yaxis: {
                    ticks: [[1,'-SD1'],[3,'-SD4'],[4,'MEAN'],[6,'SD1'],[7,'-SD3']]
                }
           }});
});​
```
