Tooltip on top of the column

[AK1979]

Hi,
Is there any way to set the position of the tooltip on top of a column / line ?

Some thing like that :

[FVANCOP]

In current version, it is not possible; The tooltip is always displayed "somewhere next to the mouse".

[AK1979]

Any plans for the the next version ?

Another chart js tooltip example :

Any plans ? :)

FVANCOP ?

No plan for it. I think that it will be complicate to upgrade the code to achieve this result.

Sorry for late answer.

Any reasonble work around that you can think of ?

Maybe to attach a third party tooltip to the callback ?

It is possible to write a new add-ins with more possibilities for tooltip, but ... really no time for the moment to implement it. I put that in the to do list, but I cannot provide a date for delivery.

With the new add-ins Add-ins/annotate.js, you can define new shapes for the annotates (=tooltip) and put the annotates on specific positions.

See following samples :

http://fvancop.github.io/ChartNew.js/Samples/annotate_for_bar_charts.html

http://fvancop.github.io/ChartNew.js/Samples/annotate_arrow.html

This add-ins provides a solution for issue #460
