import { LinearGauge, GaugeTooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-lineargauge';
LinearGauge.Inject(GaugeTooltip);
let gauge: LinearGauge = new LinearGauge({
tooltip: {
enable: true
},
axes: [{
pointers: [{

</html>Tooltip Format
Tooltip in the Linear Gauge control can be formatted using the format property in tooltip object. 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 { LinearGauge, GaugeTooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-lineargauge';
LinearGauge.Inject(GaugeTooltip);
let gauge: LinearGauge = new LinearGauge({
tooltip: {
enable: true,
format: '{value}km'
},
axes: [{
pointers: [{
value: 80
}]
}]
}, '#element');<!DOCTYPE html>
