Annotations/Tooltips for 2D area

[maria]

Hi,

 

 

 

I know I can have tooltips and annotations on specific data points, but how would I go about displaying some text for different datasets on a multi chart.

 

 

 

Speciffically, I have a StackedArea2D.swf that has about 10 stacked datasets. Ideally the user will be able to see the name of the dataset when they hover over a specific colored area.

 

 

 

Thank you.

Hey Maria ,

 

 

 

In the case of representing multiple data sets in the Area 2D chart, as you have correctly noted, tool tip and annotations can be shown for specific data points.

 

 

 

However, tooltip can not be shown on the dataset when they hover over a specific colored area, as you have mentioned. The tooltip has to confirm to a point where area charts are concerned.

 

 

 

They maybe a workaround for this. You can use Anchors to show tooltips and achieve a considerable amount of success in fulfilling your requirement.

 

 

 

The Anchors handle tool tips and links for the data points. You can hide them by setting alpha to 0 and still enable tool tips and links.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.
