gvTooltip 1.0
December 5, 2010 at 11:49 pm | Blog | 2 comments
A custom tooltip plugin for
Google Visualizations.
gvTooltip has been created to add complete control over the very limited default tooltip provided in Google visualization charts. gvTooltip replaces the default tooltip with one that is completly customizable, letting you define what each tooltip says and how it looks.
For downloads and more documentation, please head over to Google code:gvtooltip.googlecode.com
gvTooltip currently works with the following charts:
- Line Chart
- Area Chart
- Bar Chart
- Column Chart
- Pie Chart (still buggy with some options)
About gvTooltip
Lately I have been working a lot with Google Visualization (GV) charts for reporting in my projects at my day job: Folium Partners. After spending some time with GV, I discovered that there was no method of controlling the tooltip that appears on GV charts.
I searched all over the Web for a solution, but found no answer. Instead, I found lots of forum replies saying that GV did not support custom tooltips and did not allow for one to disable the default tooltip. That’s when I decided I would have to create my own.
gvTooltip can either hide the default tooltip and display a custom one, or it can just hide the default tooltip. I also built gvTooltip to be easily styled. Any number of CSS styles can be defined and applied to gvTooltip by using the “style” option. gvTooltip comes with several basic styles: None, Clean, Dark, Blue, Orange, and Green.
gvTooltip also supports different positions; it can be placed all on sides of the mouse. Check out the demo to see all of the styles and positions in action.

Hi Kevin,
I’m trying your tool tip helper.
Are you still working on a fix ?

Hello,
I was working on a fix, but then other things came up and I didn’t have a need for the tooltip. Sorry, but no fix at the moment
