Imagemap tooltips for TimeSeries chart?

Post by LukasW » Thu Nov 02, 2006 8:24 pm

Is it possible to generate tooltips for a TimeSeries line chart? The chart is saved in .png format and will be viewed in a browser. I've found nothing in the Developers Guide or on the forum about this..

Thanks!

To get tooltips for a PNG image displayed in a browser, you need to create an HTML image map - the ImageMapUtilities class (included in the JFreeChart distribution) will help you with this. There are also some demo apps included with the JFreeChart Developer Guide.

Yes, I've studied the examples in the Developers Guide but none of them are for TimeSeries charts or any other non-catergory XY chart. How can I create tooltips for continous data, such as a TimeSeries?

The image-maps work the same for category or non-category charts.
Can you describe your problem?

I am using Cewolf tag library, so how do I get tooltip in this case?

Also, my understanding is that the tooltip is for each data point on the time series, correct?

Thanks.
