let square: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',
    content: 'SVG Square',
    target: '#square
});
square.appendTo('#box');

Canvas

Create the canvas circle element and refer to the following code snippet to render the tooltip on Canvas circle.

let circle: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',
    content: 'Canvas Circle',
    target: '#circle'
});
circle.appendTo('#box');

square.appendTo('#box');

let ellipse: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',

ellipse.appendTo('#box');

let polyline: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',

polyline.appendTo('#box');

let circle: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',

circle.appendTo('#box');

let triangle: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
    cssClass: 'e-tooltip-css',

triangle.appendTo('#box');
let canvas: HTMLCanvasElement = document.getElementById('triangle') as HTMLCanvasElement;
let context;
if (canvas.getContext) {
    context = canvas.getContext('2d');
    context.beginPath();
    context.moveTo(0, 50);
    context.lineTo(100, 50);
    context.lineTo(50, 0);
    context.fillStyle = "#FDA600";
    context.fill();
}
canvas = document.getElementById('circle') as HTMLCanvasElement;
context = canvas.getContext('2d');
let centerX: number = canvas.width / 2;
let centerY: number = canvas.height / 2;
let radius: number = 30;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(centerX, centerY, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
