Formats¶
-Format applies to axis, tooltip and labels; -LabelFormat to value labels only (default: the short
form of -Format for numbers of 10,000 and more). -XFormat formats a value x axis. Numbers and dates use the browser's language or -Locale
(e.g. de-DE).
A time axis without -XFormat (line, area, bar over dates, gantt, themeriver) labels its ticks in the
same locale: times between day boundaries, the date where a day starts ("23:00, 5. Nov., 01:00" with
de-DE, "23:00, Nov 5, 01:00" with en-US), the month or the year at those boundaries of a coarser
axis. Boundaries are bold.

PowerShell sends no functions to the browser, so formats are names; a format string is never run as code.
