Google Chart: is it possible to use Strings for the x axis?

Question

So I tried messing around with my charts and noticed that integers/floats/dates work perfectly fine for the x axis, but the moment that you put in a string, it blows up.

I'm trying to graph a: Word/Count graph, but unfortunately I can't seem to be able to put strings in the x axis. Is this allowed in Google Charts, or is it strictly int/floats/dates?

Answer 1

use vAxis and hAxis property as below

google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).
  draw(data,
       {title:"Yearly Coffee Consumption by Country",
        width:600, height:400,
        vAxis: {title: "Year",ticks: [{v:100, f:"100$"},{v:150, f:"150$"},{v:200, f:"200$"},{v:300, f:"300$"}]},
        hAxis: {title: "Cups",ticks: [{v:4, f:"3-4"},{v:8, f:"5-9"},{v:10, f:"9-13"},{v:14, f:"13-14"},{v:20, f:"15-20"}]} }
  );
