Heirarchy

Constructors

constructor

Properties

content

content: any

Gets or sets the tooltip content.

The tooltip content can be specified as a string or as a function that takes a HitTestInfo object as a parameter.

When the tooltip content is a string, it may contain any of the following parameters:

  • propertyName: Any property of the data object represented by the point.
  • seriesName: Name of the series that contains the data point (FlexChart only).
  • pointIndex: Index of the data point.
  • value: Value of the data point (y-value for FlexChart, item value for FlexPie).
  • x: x-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
  • y: y-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
  • name: Name of the data point (x-value for FlexChart or legend entry for FlexPie).

Parameters must be enclosed in single curly brackets. For example:

  // 'country' and 'sales' are properties of the data object.
  chart.tooltip.content = '{country}, sales:{sales}';

The next example shows how to set the tooltip content using a function.

  // Set the tooltip content
  chart.tooltip.content = function (ht) {
    return ht.name + ":" + ht.value.toFixed();
  }
