Chart Elements - Tooltip

When you move the mouse the chart must decide which point to show the tooltip. By default it does this by looking at the X location of mouse, it then looks for points that are in the closest X location. From this set of points it chooses the closest in the Y axis.

The location of a point or bar is the center of that element. This works great on all charts, apart from horizontal bar charts. So for these it is wise to change the default tooltip behaviour to hover.

Change the default tooltip behaviour to

  • hover like normal tooltips in windows that only appear when the chart element is mouse-overed.
  • proximity which shows the closest value to the mouse in absolute distance. Radar chart with tooltip set to proximity.

The tooltips also work when multiple points are in the same x, y location.
