Any way to only show label values when mouse hovers over the data point marker? [message #137128] Tue, 28 February 2006 14:36 Go to next message

only when the mouse hovers over the specified data marker. There are
variations where all the label values for a given series show themselves
when the mouse hovers over the series graph. Any way to do this with BIRT?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, this can be done. You simply hide the marker value and set the series
interactivity to show the tooltip on mouseover.

Thanks,

Thanks, that is great! Now time to get picky... is there any way to
influence the contents of the tooltip? I'd like the tooltip to display the
name of the series as well as the data point value. This would make it
easier for the user by not forcing the user to refer to the legend all the
time.

Yes of course. You simply change the content of the label, since the tooltip
shows the same thing as the label. Of course the label can still be set
invisible.

Thanks,

David

Please forgive me if I am being dense, but the content of the label is
derived from the data value of the point. I couldn't see any way to change
this without also changing the actual contents of the data? What I am after
is something like this:

If the data value is "10" and this represents the "Number of Widgets", I
would like the tooltip to display: "Number of Widgets: 10".

I am very new to BIRT so more specific instructions would be greatly
appreciated.

Okay, stumbled into the solution. Just change the DataPoint values for the
series. BTW., that is a terrible dialog, there is no indication that one
must remove an entry before one can change it's attributes by adding it
back! I missed this the first time because I just selected "Orthoganal
Value" and added a prefix, which did nothing. I had to remove "Orthoganal
Value" and then add it back with the prefix specified at the same time!

Hello Mike,

I am alos intersted in your solution, can you explain how to:

'Just change the DataPoint values for the series' what you suggested?

Thanks a lot!

In the Data Point dialog for the Series, you can construct what the contents
of the label should be. You have quite a bit of flexibilty here. Say the
value was "10" and you want it displayed as "Total Widgets: 10". You could
do this by:

1) Selecting "Orthogonal Value" and clicking "Remove"
2) Type "Total Widgets:" in the Prefix box
3) Select "Orthogonal Value" from the dropdown control
4) Click "Add"

or if the Series Value was already set to "Total Widgets" then:
1) same as above
2) Select "Series Value" fromt the dropdown control
3) type ":" in the separator field
4) click "Add"
5) Select "Orthogonal Value" from the dropdown control
6) Click "Add"

Hope this is clear.
