XY Chart - Tooltip width problem

Ignition
1

Hello everybody,

I'm wondering if it's possible to set a maximum width for XY Chart tooltips in Perspective.

My problem is that the tooltip contains a Description string that can sometimes be quite long. When this happens, the tooltip extends off-screen because the text isn't wrapping.

Any advice on how to achieve this would be appreciated!

@Transistor, thanks for the reply.

I guess I explain bad, I need to manage the tooltip in the XY chart series, not in the META.

In ant case I try to add the style object in the tooltip properties, but is not working.

The Tooltips – amCharts 4 Documentation says that tooltips support maxWidth but it looks like the property is not exposed in Ignition's implementation.

Sorry, I don't know how to force or inject something to fix that.

You could script it. Try this in Script Console.

import textwrap
strs = "Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies - Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies."
print(textwrap.fill(strs, 20))

This will be a bit iffy with proportional width fonts as some words might get shunted onto the next line even though there's enough room.

Thanks for your reply, your code in the script console is working good.

This is the print

>>> 
Look all around,
there's nothing but
blue skies - Look
straight ahead,
there's nothing but
blue skies.
>>>

I manage my Description field in the way you suggest and it is working very good, this is a good workaround for the moment.

Thanks a lot for your help
