Tool Tip Rollover for Pie Graph Values

Hello,

I'm using the chart engine api (2.5.1) to dynamically create charts and I was wondering how you would create a mouse over (tool tip) text that shows the percentage or quantity for each piece of pie in the pie chart. I currently have labels but would prefer to have the roll over tool tip display the values. Any suggestions?

Hi cgswtsu78,

You can go to the Value Series section of the Format Chart tab in the chart editor, click on the interactivity button at the bottom, choose mouse over from the drop down, and then choose the tooltip option. Hope this helps.

Hi mwilliams,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently creating my charts through the Java api and not the designer, so I think your suggestion wont help correct? Do you know how to set up the series through Java so that the values of the pie appear as tool tips?

Thanks,

Colin
