Tooltip

Tooltip

The Tooltip is a little box that pops up when you hover over the widget. It is always attached to something, like a bar on a bar chart or a dot on a line chart. Tooltip provides us the contextual information and additional important information on a visual.
To access the tooltip option in Rubiscape, select Widget > Format > Chart > Tooltip.
The default setting for tooltip formatting varies depending on the chart. Use the toggle button to enable (  ) or disable ( ) tooltip formatting according to your requirements.

The table given below describes different fields present in Tooltip formatting.

Field

Description

Remark

Text

It allows you to type the text that is used as the tooltip.

  • You can change the text font, its size, and color.
  • You can make the text bold, italic, and underline it.
  • The default text format is {series.name}:{point.y}. You can change this to custom text.

Background Color

It allows you to select a suitable color for the background of the tooltip.

Decimal Places

It allows you to select the number of decimal places up to which you want any variable value to be displayed.

By default, the calculated value is displayed in the tooltip. This value can be up to any number of decimal places.

Display Unit

It allows you to select the multiples of units in which the variable is measured.

You can select any of the following units:

  • Default
  • None
  • Thousand
  • Lakhs
  • Millions
  • Crores
  • Billions
  • Trillions

    Default indicates that the unit is assigned automatically by parsing the range of the data. That is, Thousands/Lakhs/Millions/Crores/Billions/Trillions are automatically assigned based on the data.
    None represents that no unit is set for the variable.

Number Format

Number Formatting allows you to change the way numerical entities appear on the tooltip. It is applicable for features under Measures (numerical variables).

For more information, refer to Number Format.

To use Tooltip formatting options, first plot a chart using the dimensions and measures from the dataset. For example, we plot a Column Chart of the Count of Cards against Gender. The Ethnicity of the sample is the Legend dimension.
The figure given below shows an original image of the Column Chart.


Now, here we

  • Change the tooltip font type, font size, and font color
  • Make the text bold, italic, and underlined
  • Change the background color
  • Change the 'Display Unit' and 'Number Format' options

The resultant widget is shown below. 

Notes

  • The Number Formatting option in 'Tooltip' is unavailable for the Table, CrossTable, and the Table formatting option in Sparkline chart.
  • While creating the chart, if the value is configured with percentage, the line will be plotted with a percentage value.
