Customize ToolTip Text for TimeSeriesGraph

[rspan]

StandartXYToolTipGenerator always show the Key of Series as ToolTip. What about if I need to show some other text but not key? How to implement it?

Thanks.

Take a look at the StandardXYToolTip JavaDoc entry (the JavaDoc is there for a reason). You will see that StandardXYToolTipGenerator implments XYToolTipGenerator interface. For a custom tool tip, create a class that implements the XYToolTipGenerator interface. There are plenty of examples if you search the forum and the source code.

the string you will return in your generateToolTip() can be (should be ?) html formated.
I spend some time figuring why the fuc*** \n were not displayed
before using html tags
and suddenly life was beautiful

The tooltip text is displayed using Swing's tooltip mechanism. This supports some HTML - see the following:
