HoverText / ToolTip text in single-series charts

[johndparker]

Using Fusion Charts 3.0.2:

We are truncating some large Category labels on certain charts we display.

For these truncated labels we want to show the full Category label and the value in the  hover text when the user hovers their mouse over the value.

On all charts except single series the hover text we specify displays and the value it automatically appended to it.

On single-series charts the value is not appended automaticaly.

We could code around this by appending the value to the hover text ourselves but it becomes complicated if the value is formatted eg. shown as a percent or K,M suffixes.

Is this issue fixed in a later version, or is there a way around it?

Not 100% sure, but try upgrading to 3.0.4 to fix this issue.

 

It worked for use.

Hi,

 

 

 

In multi-series charts, we append the value only if you've specified toolText for each category. However, if you specify toolText for each set element, we do not add the value.

 

 

 

Basically, the idea is that if you're specifying toolText to set element, it's the final tool text that shows up.
