How to show tool tip text in a sparkline

[ryancraig]

I am using FusionWidget Sparklines.  I need to show tooltext values when a user mouses over a plotted point in the sparkline.  How do I configure my sparkline?

I read the documentation and it appears that I just need to set the showToolTip attribute to '1' and add tooltext attributes to my dataset.set elements.  I added these attributes in my xml (see below) but tooltips do not display.  I am certain that I have missed something.  Please help!

Here's my xml:

<chart

  captionPadding='0'

  chartLeftMargin='0'

  palette='1'

  canvasLeftMargin='50'

  bgColor='F1F1F1'

  showBorder='0'

  borderColor='F1F1F1'

  borderAlpha='100'

  showToolTip='1'>

Hello Ryan,

 

 

 

Welcome to the FusionCharts Forum.

 

 

 

We're afraid that the tool tip functionality is not available for the FusionWidgets Spark Line Chart, as of now.

 

The tool tip function can only be assigned and used for annotations.

 

 

 

The query submitted by you is already on our innovation and updation wishlist.

<chart defaultAnimation='0' animation='0' lineColor='F00000' showOpenValue='0'

showCloseValue='0' showHighLowValue='0' showOpenAnchor='0' showCloseAnchor='0' showHighAnchor='0'

showLowAnchor='0' showToolTip='1'>

<dataset>

<set value='3.43' />

<set value='3.49' />

<set value='3.66' />

<set value='3.45' />

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

I am afraid, spark line chart does not support tool tip, as of now.

 

We will get back to you once there is any news from our end.

 

Thank you very much for your continued patience and patronage.

 

Hope you have a great day!

Hi Angshu,

 

Can you please confirm if its the same case with WinLoss charts as well.

Hi,

 

The tool tip feature is not available in WinLoss chart as well.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello, has there been any update on this?  I've noticed that SparkLine DOES show tooltips when rendered as javascript, but not when rendred as flash.  Perhaps you have an updated sparkline.swf that fixes these issues?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

We are looking into your query and will update you soon on this thread.

Hi,

 

Spark Line chart does not provide the feature of tool tip. But, if you want tool tip on your chart, you may make use of Annotations. 

 

Annotations let you create your own custom objects (shapes, images, text etc.) in the charts. You can create various shapes like polygons, rectangles, circles, arcs, etc., render annotation text at required positions and load external GIF/JPEG/PNG images in the chart itself.

 

For your requirement, you can make use of circle type of annotation and show tool tip on annotations. Please find the attached XML along with a screenshot to demonstrate the use of Annotations.

 

For more information on Annotations, you may refer : http://docs.fusioncharts.com/widgets/Contents/Annotations/Introduction.html

 

Hope this helps.
