ToolTips

Hi
I'm trying to use the tooltips with XYLineAndShapeRenderer, and I cannot get it to work. I've made a copy of LineChartDemo6 to play with. It uses ChartFactory.createXYLineChart with tooltips = true. I've even included the statement
renderer.setToolTipGenerator(new StandardXYToolTipGenerator());
but it doesn't make any difference.
Am I doing anything wrong, or is this maybe a bug?
Any help will be appreciated
Regards
Ursula

How many lines to you have on your graph? From what I understand, with the tooltips on the XY line charts, they only work for the first line (well, that's all I could get working anyway). So you may just want to check with the first line that is generated if you have more than one line.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have 2 lines, but I only want tooltips for the first line. I actually get tooltips if I use the StandardXYItemRenderer, but as mentioned in my original posting, none if I use XYLineAndShapeRenderer. I want to use the latter because I want to only have shapes for the first line.

The problem here is that the XYLineAndShapeRenderer class is incomplete. I've added support for chart entities just now, so tooltips will work in the next release (0.9.21).
