Enable full HTML support for tooltips

vis4 — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:05:57 -0000

By now, the tooltip text doesn't use the full range of supported html tags of the flash TextField. By now it is impossible to set a part of the tooltip body in bold font, as shown in the following example:

$pieValue-> set_tooltip("$label<br><b>$percentage%</b> ($value$unit $labelName)");

The reason for that can be found in Tooltip.as in the function make_body (line 166-182). The current behaviour is to parse the CSS definition by hand and applying the single properties to the whole TextField. Instead you should use the styleSheet property of the TextField.

I clearly see the reason for the customized CSS parser, since the flash CSS is very different from common CSS and lacks support for many tags or introduces property replacements (like "leading" for "line-height"). I think the best way to get the best of both worlds is to translate the custom CSS class back to flash CSS and applying it to the TextField.

Please have a look at my patched version of Tooltip.as.

HTML (at least ) tags in tooltips

It would be nice to be able to apply your own format to a tooltip. Adding custom colors, etc, via HTML code.

Colors subtitles (a.k.a Line Charts Labels) for Pie Charts

Victor.RdS — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:01:07 -0000

In some cases the slices of the pie chart is to damn small and then the labels became a mess, I've made some color subtitles using HTML to overcome this problem, but is ugly.
My suggestion is make labels like the ones in line chart or at least remove the '|' sticks that comes out of slices, so we can make our labels.

Sorry for the bad english.

area_dot chart

Alexander Goldstone — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:21:26 -0000

For line charts there are "line_dot" and "line_hollow" options.

For area charts there is only an "area_hollow" option.

It would be great to bring the two types of chart in line with each other and have an "area_dot" option.

Links support for Area Chart

Alexander Goldstone — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:17:09 -0000

Support for links and/or javascript to be assigned to data points.

When a data point is clicked, the user should be taken to the relevant link or the particular javascript code should be executed.

HBars with diferent colors

M'hand Boughias — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:08:36 -0000

in OFC2 :
have horizontal bars with diferent colors, I think this would do the thing :
in Elements/PointHBar.as :
replace
this.colour = colour;
by
this.colour = value.colour ? value.colour : colour;

Step line chart

A step line chart would be nice. An example: http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/features_gallery.php#StepLinePlots

An alternate solution would be, if we could set the gap to zero between two bar in a barchart.

Bars with other color for negative values

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:16:39 -0000

When we have negative values in a bar chart, could it be possible to have diferent colors for the bar? I mean, show it, for example, blue when the value is positive, and red when is negative...
