Tooltip

Linear Gauge displays the details about a pointer value through tooltip, when the mouse hovers over the pointer. To enable the tooltip, set enable property as true and and inject the GaugeTooltipService in the providers.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { LinearGaugeModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'
import { GaugeTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         LinearGaugeModule
    ],

providers: [ GaugeTooltipService ],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
        <ejs-lineargauge id='tooltipContainer' style='display:block;' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
            <e-axes>
                <e-axis>
                    <e-pointers>
                        <e-pointer value=80></e-pointer>
                    </e-pointers>
                </e-axis>
            </e-axes>
        </ejs-lineargauge>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public tooltip?:Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.tooltip = {
            enable: true
        };
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Tooltip format

Tooltip in the Linear Gauge control can be formatted using the format property in tooltip. It is used to render the tooltip in certain format or to add a user-defined unit in the tooltip. By default, the tooltip shows the pointer value only. In addition to that, more information can be added in the tooltip. For example, the format {value}km shows pointer value with kilometer unit in the tooltip.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { LinearGaugeModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'
import { GaugeTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         LinearGaugeModule
    ],

providers: [ GaugeTooltipService ],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
    <ejs-lineargauge id="gauge-container" style='display:block;' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-axes>
            <e-axis>
            <e-pointers>
               <e-pointer value=80></e-pointer>
             </e-pointers>
            </e-axis>
        </e-axes>
    </ejs-lineargauge>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public tooltip?:Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.tooltip = {
             enable: true,
             format: '{value}km'
        };
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Tooltip Template

The HTML element can be rendered in the tooltip of the Linear Gauge using the template property in tooltip. The ${value} can be used as placeholders in the HTML element to display the pointer values of the corresponding axis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { LinearGaugeModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'
import { GaugeTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         LinearGaugeModule
    ],

providers: [ GaugeTooltipService ],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
    <ejs-lineargauge id="gauge-container" style='display:block;' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-axes>
            <e-axis>
            <e-pointers>
               <e-pointer value=80></e-pointer>
             </e-pointers>
            </e-axis>
        </e-axes>
    </ejs-lineargauge>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public tooltip?:Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.tooltip = {
            enable: true,
            //tooltip template for Linear gauge
            template: '<div>Pointer: 80 </div>'
        };
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Positioning the tooltip

The tooltip is positioned at the End of the pointer. To change the position of the tooltip at the start, or center of the pointer, set the position property to Start or Center.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { LinearGaugeModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'
import { GaugeTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         LinearGaugeModule
    ],

providers: [ GaugeTooltipService ],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
    <ejs-lineargauge id="gauge-container" style='display:block;' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-axes>
            <e-axis>
            <e-pointers>
               <e-pointer value=50 type="Bar" color="blue"></e-pointer>
             </e-pointers>
            </e-axis>
        </e-axes>
    </ejs-lineargauge>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public tooltip?:Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.tooltip = {
          enable: true,
          position: "Center"
        };
    }
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Pointer Drag

To drag either marker or bar pointer to the desired axis value, set the enableDrag property as true in the pointer.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { LinearGaugeModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'
import { GaugeTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-lineargauge'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         LinearGaugeModule
    ],

providers: [ GaugeTooltipService ],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-lineargauge id="gauge-container" style='display:block;' height='350'>
        <e-axes>
            <e-axis>
            <e-pointers>
               <e-pointer value=80 [enableDrag]=true></e-pointer>
             </e-pointers>
            </e-axis>
        </e-axes>
