Solving the Tooltip Chaos

Post by Mottfried » Mon Sep 18, 2006 3:44 pm

For several days now i try to understand how the tooltip-system should work - i didnt get it :) There are hundred of threads about tooltips - but no guide or newbie help - the threads about tooltips are very special or - sorry - used as "plsfixmycode"-threads. I think there should be some typical examples. Maybe you can help me, so i can post a useful guide.

Solved 1) Generating Tooltips for all datasets and for all contained series.
2) Generating tooltips for a special dataset or series, as example for dataset 0 series 2. All other datasets/series wont be generated.
3) Generating additional tooltips that wont be bound to a dataset or series in the chart. As example for annotations

Maybe some can give me a sequence-diagramm of the tooltip-generation ...there are so many points in this way...confusing.

I will try to get some text out of this, so that the jfree-guys can use it in there dokumentation (maybe u have to fix my english :))
