Hi, can you please explain what you mean by graphical cursor?

'Cause cursor to me means the pointer, like the little arrow you click with on your mouse, or the line that keeps track of where you're typing.

Perhaps there is some other meaning I don't know? Something statistical?

Did you have a look at the examples available from the homepage? Is one of the examples doing what you want? Which one?

If so, the source code of the examples would be a good starting point. How to obtain it is explained on this site. The guide and the source are really worth its money!

If none of the examples is doing what you want, please explain in more details what you would like to do.

You mean like ScatterPlotDemo1 or ScatterPlotDemo2 from XY Charts in the JFreeChart-demo?

Well, ... read my previous post.
Or search for setVerticalAxisTrace()/setHorizontalAxisTrace() in the source

Is this SWT or in a webpage? If it's a webpage you could just change the css class of the mouseover.
