Multiple tooltips in chart

[gdlm]

Another remark:
When I quickly hover over some points of three different series, I get three tooltips:

Shouldn't a previous tooltip disappear when another appears?
(no matter if the new appearing tooltip is from the same or another series?)

Another one:
When two or more points of different series are on the same spot the appearing tooltips hide each other:

I'm not sure this qualifies as a bug as that is expected behavior when using multiple tool tips http://sencha.com/examples/#ExamplePlace:tooltips. However if you wanted to only display one tool tip at a time you could have one ToolTip object that you show using the showAt method inside of the series item over event.

OK. I can live with that one.
But then - if multiple tool tips is the expected behaviour - I consider my second remark as a bug.

I think

• OR you can only have one tool tip at a time
• OR you can have mutiple but then they should be visible/readable simultaneously and not hide each other (since otherwise they're quite useless imo)

Right?

I've got a couple workarounds:

1. First option uses the same tooltip configuration for all the series, depending on the last set.

final ToolTip newToolTip = new ToolTip(null);


final LineSeries<Data> series = new LineSeries<Data>() {
  {
    toolTip = newToolTip;
  }
};
series.setToolTipConfig(new SeriesToolTipConfig<Data>());


final LineSeries<Data> series2 = new LineSeries<Data>() {
  {
    toolTip = newToolTip;
  }
};
// use a custom label provider if needed...
series.setToolTipConfig(new SeriesToolTipConfig<Data>());

2. Second option, creates a tooltip for each series, and hides the other tooltip on show.

tooltip1 = new ToolTip(null) {
  @Override
  public void showAt(int x, int y) {
    super.showAt(x, y);
    tooltip2.hide();
    tooltip3.hide();
  }
};


tooltip2 = new ToolTip(null) {
  @Override
  public void showAt(int x, int y) {
    super.showAt(x, y);
    tooltip1.hide();
    tooltip3.hide();
  }
};


tooltip3 = new ToolTip(null) {
  @Override
  public void showAt(int x, int y) {
    super.showAt(x, y);
    tooltip1.hide();
    tooltip2.hide();
  }
};


final LineSeries<Data> series = new LineSeries<Data>() {
  {
    toolTip = tooltip1;
  }
};
// use a custom label provider if needed...
series.setToolTipConfig(new SeriesToolTipConfig<Data>());


final LineSeries<Data> series2 = new LineSeries<Data>() {
  {
    toolTip = tooltip2;
  }
};
// use a custom label provider if needed...
series2.setToolTipConfig(new SeriesToolTipConfig<Data>());


final LineSeries<Data> series3 = new LineSeries<Data>() {
  {
    toolTip = tooltip3;
  }
};
// use a custom label provider if needed...
series3.setToolTipConfig(new SeriesToolTipConfig<Data>());
