The Flot widget does not support formatting ticks. The Flot JavaScript library provides a "tickFormatter" option for customizing the axes.

Alternatively the "tick" option supports passing in a two-element array to map numeric ticks to a string to display as the label. Here is an example from the the Flot API.txt:

ticks: [[0, "zero"], [1.2, "one mark"], [2.4, "two marks"]]
