Display tooltip on svg and canvas elements in React Tooltip component

28 Jan 202524 minutes to read

Tooltip can be displayed on both SVG and Canvas elements. You can attach tooltips directly to <svg> or <canvas> elements to display them on data visualization elements.

SVG

To render a tooltip on an SVG square, first create the SVG square element, then use the following code snippet.

  <TooltipComponent content='SVG Square' cssClass='e-tooltip-css' target= '#square'>
  </TooltipComponent>

Canvas

To render a tooltip on a Canvas circle, first create the canvas circle element, then use the following code snippet.

<TooltipComponent content='Canvas Circle' cssClass='e-tooltip-css' target= '#circle'>
  </TooltipComponent>
