Questions about some charts

[luis_esru]

Dear David

I have some questions about some charts.

BarChartDemo:
* I would like to customize the ToolTips to include/exclude and change the order of information. Is there a working example of that? (note: this is also required in other charts!)
* Is there a way of stopping the categories from wrapping - when they are too many it becomes worst than without wrapping!
* Why is the method 'setBottomCategoryLabelPosition' deprecated?

SurveyResultsDemo3:
* Same wrapping issue.
* Why is the method 'setLeftCategoryLabelPosition' deprecated?

StackedAreaXYChartDemo:
* Here the problem occurs when some series have zeros in it.
eg,
Series1 = 1,3,2,4,5,5
Series2 = 0,0,0,0,0,0
Series3 = 5,8,9,3,5,2
Series4 = 9,7,8,5,4,3
Series5 = 0,0,0,0,0,0
Series6 = 4,5,6,7,5,3

In this case the returned values on the ToolTips for Series1 and Series4 are zero because of the overlapped data points – is there a way of avoiding this?

ContourPlotDemo:
* Will the Properties from the pop-up menu be working any time soon?

Best regards
Luis

You can completely customise the tooltips by writing a class that implements the CategoryItemLabelGenerator interface.

Use setMaxCategoryLabelWidthRatio() and make it a large percentage. The default is to wrap at 90% (0.90) of the category width. Make it 10000% or something and wrapping won't happen.

The four settings have been combined into a single CategoryLabelPositions object.

Series2 = 0,0,0,0,0,0

Series6 = 4,5,6,7,5,3

Sounds like a bug, I'll take a look.

I haven't had time to see what is involved in fixing this.

I see what is happening...the "hot spot" is a small area around the (x, y) coordinate, so series 2 obscures series 1 and series 5 obscures series 4. The solution will be to change the "hotspot" to the full area that is filled in for the given data value. I'll add that to the to-do list...
