We have a requirement to graph some dollar amounts by month in a stacked vertical bar graph. That part is fairly straightforward so the challenge is the user wants the mouseover to display an individual calendar date (MAX.DATE) together with the dollar amounts in the hovered bar.

Are there some API settings to modify the tooltip settings?

The code with comments and the APIS in place

GRAPH FILE MY_MONEY
-* Created by Advanced Graph Assistant
SUM MY_MONEY.SEG01.CASHVALUE AS 'cASH'
MY_MONEY.SEG01.MARKETVALUE AS 'MARKET SHARES'
BY MY_MONEY.SEG01.MONEY_DATE_YYMD NOPRINT >>>>>>>> What the mouseover has to show - points to the MAX.MONEY_DATE_YYMD
BY MY_MONEY.SEG01.MONEY_DATE_FORMAL AS ' ' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> what the mouseover points to now.
WHERE MY_MONEY.SEG01.MONEY_DATE_FORMAL GE '022011';

This may help, but only work for me in GRAPHEDIT OFF.

I've set all the objects that I could find that setUserToolTip supports.

GRAPH   FILE EMPLOYEE
 SUM    CNT.EMP_ID
 ACROSS HIRE_DATE
 ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR
-* ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
 ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT OFF
 ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *

-* User Tooltip
setToolTipMode(false);
setUserToolTip("Object Name:[ON][R]Object ID:[OID][R]Object Instance:[OIN][R]Object Description:[OD][R]Series Label:[SL][R]Group Label:[GL][R]X Value:[XV][R]Y Value:[YV][R]Z Value:[ZV]");

-* Alternate Frames
setDisplay(getO1AltFmtFrame(), true); 
setAltFmtFrameNumColors(getO1AltFmtFrame(), 2); 
setAltFmtFrameSeparator(getO1AltFmtFrame(0), 5.0); 
setDisplay(getO1AltFmtFrame(0), true); 
setDisplay(getO1AltFmtFrame(1), true); 
setFillColor(getO1AltFmtFrame(0), new Color(255,221,221)); 
setFillColor(getO1AltFmtFrame(1), new Color(221,255,221));

-* Annotation 1
setDisplay(getAnnotation(0), true);
setTextString(getAnnotation(0), "Jan-Jun");
setFillColor(getAnnotation(0), new Color(128,0,0));
setRect(getAnnotation(0),new Rectangle(-14000,11000,9000,1800));
setFontSizeAbsolute(getAnnotation(0),true);
setFontSizeInPoints(getAnnotation(0),15.0);

-* Annotation 2
setDisplay(getAnnotation(1), true);
setTextString(getAnnotation(1), "Jul-Dec");
setFillColor(getAnnotation(1), new Color(0,128,0));

Very interesting graph addition! Thanks Waz.

FYI: With 7.7.03, if I change the User Tooltip section to show HIRE_DATE then the background colors do not show up but if I place this section at the end of the style section then the colors display.

Good stuff and cheap too.

Thanks to all who replied. The specifications seem to be somewhat elusive so I will apply what Waz suggested once we get the users' updated requirements.

See Y'All @ Summit.
