Is there a way to override the functionality for the bar chart’s tooltips? I’m trying to find a way to change what is displayed when you mouse over one of the bars. I was hoping there would be an easy way to find what the default value would be, change it, and then write back the text I want.
The getToolTipText() and setToolTipText() functions get and set the Mouseover Text, which is what appears when your mouse is not over a bar. Is there a feature in here that I’m missing?
Hi, Dan,
Not out of the box, but Phil Turmel has mad a module for such things.

Add the following to the bar chart's property change script.

[code]if event.propertyName == “data”:
from org.jfree.chart.labels import CategoryToolTipGenerator
class CustomToolTipGenerator(CategoryToolTipGenerator):
def generateToolTip(self,dataset,row,column):
return "TIP: %s = %d %%"%(dataset.getRowKey(row),(dataset.getValue(row,column)))
chart = event.source.getChart()
renderer = chart.getPlot().getRenderer()
renderer.setToolTipGenerator(CustomToolTipGenerator())
[/code][/quote]Sweet!
Brilliant! That got me started, and a combination of google, trial, and error got me the exact tooltips I was looking for.
Many thanks.
