Customize vertical axis labels to display text instead of numbers

Question

I am working with a data series that consists of strings with values of "Low", "Medium", and "High". For building my chart, I've converted this list to integers (1, 2, 3) and used that to create columns. Is there an easy way to set my vertical axis labels to "L", "M", "H" rather than the current default of 0, 1, 2, 3?

Vico version(s)

2.0.1

UI framework(s)

Jetpack Compose

This can be achieved with a custom CartesianValueFormatter:

val startAxisValueFormatter = CartesianValueFormatter { _, value, _ ->
        when {
            value < 1 -> " " // Empty string for zero; avoids writing labels on the origin
            value < 2 -> "L"  // Low
            value < 3 -> "M"  // Medium
            else -> "H"  // High
        }
    }

Then just this pass to your valueFormatter for your vertical axis.
