Hi All,

I am trying to customize (insert some text) the standard tool tip displayed by the Tree Map Chart. What ever i try is not affecting the tooltip for the map at all. I am not even able to even turn off the standard tooltip using htmlTooltip: {enabled: false}.

I am using two columns in the graph table to display the tree map. The first column shows the size of the rectangles. The second column is used to determine the color scale of the legend on the right. Currently it is displaying only the first column value in the tool tip. I need to be able to show the values of both the columns in the tooltip.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Hima

@Emily - Can you clarify?

Run the following code and you will see a customized tooltip using the tooltip property:

DEFINE FILE GGSALES
 PROFIT/D12.2= DOLLARS-BUDDOLLARS ;
END
GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM PROFIT UNITS
BY ST
BY PRODUCT
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT JSCHART
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR
-*ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH TREEMAP
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
*GRAPH_JS
 htmlToolTip: {enabled: true, snap:true}
*END
-*
*GRAPH_JS
series: [
{series: 'reset', tooltip: function(v, s, g) {return 'Customized Tooltip <br/>' + 'Value: ' + v
+'<br/>Series: ' + s +'<br/>Group: ' + g;}}
]
*END
ENDSTYLE
END  

Swap the LOOKGRAPH to TREEMAP, and the tooltip property doesn't seem to be in effect.

Are you saying that the tooltip property doesn't support TREEMAP graphs?

The 'Creating HTML5 Charts' manual doesn't mention this limitation.

Perhaps using this sample code you, or someone at IB, could assist?

Thanks.

My wish in 2017 is that people at IB respond sooner than 9 days to a Focal Point forum post that no one else was capable of doing.

Thanks for articulating a concern, I've had as well.

In addition to the time duration; I am not sure why an IB 'graph tech' wouldn't be all over this thread.

It sounds like the OP has a very reasonable request from his/her users.

It appears that, for treemap charts, WebFOCUS knows what is best for you.

Here is the JavaScript generated for the tree map example posted above... the custom series/tooltip requests seem to be overridden:

var chart = new tdgchart({backend:'js', allowBackendFallback:true});
chart.data = [];
chart.title.text = '';
chart.width = 760;
chart.height = 400;
chart.parsePFJString(script);

// CUSTOM CHART SET COMMANDS, WHICH WILL BE OVERRIDDEN LATER FOR TREEMAP CHART

chart.set({
// The following properties are from the *GRAPH_JS section of the stylesheet:
 htmlToolTip: {enabled: true, snap:true}
});
chart.set({
series: [
{series: 'reset', tooltip: function(v, s, g) {return 'Customized Tooltip <br/>' + 'Value: ' + v
+'<br/>Series: ' + s +'<br/>Group: ' + g;}}
]
});

// THE DATA

chart.set({
// The following properties were generated by the Reporting Server:

// TOO BAD, SO SAD :( ... WEBFOCUS APPEARS TO OVERRIDE CUSTOM TREEMAP SERIES/TOOLTIP REQUESTS

htmlToolTip: { enabled: true },
series: [ { series: 0, tooltip: 'auto' } ],

Trying to intercept this code and remove the overriding commands before the HTML page initializes would be very tricky indeed, if it is even possible at all.

Hello All,

The questions posted above were sent to the Product Manager who has responded.

First, I did run David's example in AppStudo WF8105 gen 07282016. I do see the tooltips on the treemap.

Question #1: Tooltips not showing all the information on the treemap

Here is my example:




The Product Manager ( Dan Weingart ) also tested the above example and found the tool tips do appear.

Question #2: The ability to customize the tooltip in WebFOCUS 8105

Dan says he ran some examples and also saw that the Reporting Server seemed to be overwriting the custom tooltip defined in the FEX. He then asked one of the charting engineers to investigate.

There will be more investigation if it is possible for Hima Meka to replicate the issue using the CAR or GGSALES file to show the missing measures/fields on the default tooltip. We can then ensure a solution is provided.

In the meantime, the following has been provided by the charting engineer as a possible workaround:

use -> 'series: 0, group: null' in their custom tooltip instead of just 'series: reset'.

ie, change:

*GRAPH_JS
series: [
{series: 'reset', tooltip: function(v, s, g) {return 'Customized Tooltip
' + 'Value: ' + v
+'
Series: ' + s +'
Group: ' + g;}}
]
*END

to:

*GRAPH_JS
series: [
{series: 0, group: null, tooltip: function(v, s, g) {return 'Customized Tooltip
' + 'Value: ' + v
+'
Series: ' + s +'
Group: ' + g;}}
]
*END

This works in 81xx (including 8105m) and 82xx.


I hope the above helps as a possible solution. Once a replication using the IBI files is posted I will provide it to the product group for analysis.

Have a good weekend everyone.
