HTML formatted text in ToolTips

Post by Krac » Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:07 pm

Hello, everyone :)

Is there any easy way to display the text in a tooltip HTML formatted?
Or at least bolding some parts of the text and eventually using <br/> s in order to display the text on several rows?

TIA, all the best

How about standard Java HTML support:

Code: Select all

final String categoryTooltip = "<html>I can display <b>bold</b> - and you?</html>";
Java 11, JFreeChart 1.0.15, JFreeSVG 4.0

Excellent, thanks!

I used the text formatted but WITHOUT the <HTML> tag... so it lead me nowhere :(
