27 Apr 202415 minutes to read

stockchart will display details about the points through tooltip, when the mouse is moved over the point.

Default tooltip

By default, tooltip is not visible. Enable the tooltip by setting enable property to true and by injecting TooltipService into the NgModule.providers.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateTimeService, StepLineSeriesService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { LegendService, TooltipService, RangeTooltipService, CategoryService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { chartData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ DateTimeService, LineSeriesService, RangeTooltipService, StepLineSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService, CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-stockchart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-stockchart-series-collection>
            <e-stockchart-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Spline' xName='date' yName='open' width=2 name='China' [marker]='marker'></e-stockchart-series>
        </e-stockchart-series-collection>
    </ejs-stockchart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public marker?: Object;
    public tooltip?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime',
        };
        this.tooltip = { enable: true };
        this.marker = { visible: true, width: 10, height: 10 };
        this.title = 'Unemployment Rates 1975-2010';

}

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Format the tooltip

By default, tooltip shows information of x and y value in points. In addition to that, you can show more information in tooltip. For example the format ’${series.name} ${point.x}’ shows series name and point x value.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateTimeService, StepLineSeriesService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { LegendService, TooltipService, RangeTooltipService, CategoryService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { chartData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ DateTimeService, LineSeriesService, RangeTooltipService, StepLineSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService, CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-stockchart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-stockchart-series-collection>
            <e-stockchart-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Spline' xName='date' yName='open' width=2 name='China' [marker]='marker'></e-stockchart-series>
        </e-stockchart-series-collection>
    </ejs-stockchart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public marker?: Object;
    public tooltip?: Object;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.tooltip = { enable: true, header: 'Unemployment', format: '<b>${point.x} : ${point.y}</b>' };
        this.marker = { visible: true, width: 10, height: 10 };
        this.title = 'Unemployment Rates 1975-2010';

}

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Position the tooltip

By default, the tooltip is positioned at the left side of the stock chart. You can move the tooltip along with the mouse by setting Nearest to the position property.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateTimeService, StepLineSeriesService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { LegendService, TooltipService, RangeTooltipService, CategoryService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { chartData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ DateTimeService, LineSeriesService, RangeTooltipService, StepLineSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService, CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-stockchart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-stockchart-series-collection>
            <e-stockchart-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Spline' xName='date' yName='open' width=2 name='China' [marker]='marker'></e-stockchart-series>
        </e-stockchart-series-collection>
    </ejs-stockchart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public marker?: Object;
    public tooltip?: Object;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.tooltip = { enable: true, shared: true, position: 'Nearest' };
        this.marker = { visible: true, width: 10, height: 10 };
        this.title = 'Unemployment Rates 1975-2010';

    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Tooltip template

Any HTML elements can be displayed in the tooltip by using the ‘template’ property of the tooltip. You can use the ${x} and ${y} as place holders in the HTML element to display the x and y values of the corresponding data point.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateTimeService, StepLineSeriesService, LineSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { LegendService, TooltipService, RangeTooltipService, CategoryService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { chartData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule, StockChartAllModule, ChartAllModule
    ],

providers: [ DateTimeService, LineSeriesService, RangeTooltipService, StepLineSeriesService, LegendService, TooltipService, CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-stockchart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [tooltip]='tooltip'>
        <e-stockchart-series-collection>
            <e-stockchart-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Spline' xName='date' yName='open' width=2 name='China' [marker]='marker'></e-stockchart-series>
        </e-stockchart-series-collection>
    </ejs-stockchart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public marker?: Object;
    public tooltip?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = chartData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.tooltip = { enable: true, template: '#Unemployment' };
        this.marker = { visible: true, width: 10, height: 10 };
        this.title = 'Unemployment Rates 1975-2010';

    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Customize the appearance of the tooltip

The fill and border properties are used to customize the background color and border of the tooltip respectively. The textStyle property in the tooltip is used to customize the font of the tooltip text.

    public marker?: Object;
    public tooltip?: Object;
    ngOnInit(): void {

        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime'
        };
        this.tooltip = {
                enable: true,
                format: '${series.name} ${point.x} : ${point.y}',
                fill: '#7bb4eb',
                border: {
                   width: 2,
                   color: 'grey'
                }
        };
        this.marker = { visible: true, width: 10, height: 10 };
