I'd really appreciate some help on this one too...I've been trying various ideas but no luck yet.

Have looked at:

-Getting the chart entity on a mouse click, was successful but then I don't know how to pop up a tooltip based on that entity

-The java.swing TooltipManager which JFree seems to use, but can't find any clues there either.

Please help!

Don't know if it'll help or not. I'll be attempting to do a similar thing this weekend, so if I can get it working, I'll be more than happy to post the code.
