tooltip timeout

Hi,

I want to change the time value for a tooltip is displayed in the chart. I saw in the forum one solution ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setDismissDelay(1000 * 100);, but i don't know what is the class ToolTipManager

Anyone can say me where is this class?

It is part of the Swing framework, not JFreeChart.

I think it is desirable to be able to let JFreeChart use its own ToolTipManager since one may wish that tooltips in the chart area appear faster or stay longer than the other/normal tooltips (for buttons...). So I propose setter/getter methods for the ToolTipManager; the default ToolTipManager may be ToolTipManager.sharedInstance() - this is just an idea, i haven't tested if it would really work this way.

Sounds reasonable...I'll put it on my to-do list to test it. If you try it out yourself, let me know if it works.

Sorry for this silly proposal

, one cannot construct another ToolTipManager.

To apologize i submitted a patch which works differently (toggles the tooltip delay values if the mouse enters or exits the chart panel) under
