The DataToolTip object does not seem to check its postion before drawing itself. For data points that are located close to the top or right edge of the ChartView the tooltip gets clipped.
By default the tooltip seems to be displayed above, and to the right of, the cursor (mouse click) position. Is it possible to set the location to be below, and to the left of the cursor? I'm using a plot area that fills most of the ChartView and I'm most interested in the max and rightmost data.
Ideally this object would draw itself in such a way that the tooltip information is never clipped.

Here's the code. I reference a custom class called LblMultiLine that is not included. Replace this reference with a JLabel to get rid
of any compile errors.
Also, the tooltip attributes (i.e color, font, date format) are hardcoded to the values I want. Ideally the attributes set via the superclass setters would be used.

You should post your code. Others would be interested. |

Thanks for the info.
I subclassed the DataToolTip class and overridded its draw() method.
Instead of writing the tooltip as ChartText on the Chartview, I load the the tooltip text into my own component and place it exactly where I want. This approach seems to work.

Sorry, but we not have a variant of the tool tips which auto-justify themselves based on the tool tip location. It sticks to the justification values which have been set. You will have to leave a large enough border around the plotting area to display the tool tip. |
