Tooltip in Vue Diagram component
20 Sep 202424 minutes to read
In Graphical User Interface (GUI), the tooltip is a message that is displayed when mouse hovers over an element. The diagram provides tooltip support while dragging, resizing, rotating a node, and when the mouse hovers any diagram element.
Default tooltip
By default, diagram displays a tooltip to provide the size, position, and angle related information while dragging, resizing, and rotating. The following images illustrate how the diagram displays the node information during an interaction.
| Drag | Resize | Rotate |

Common tooltip for all nodes and connectors
The diagram provides support to show tooltip when the mouse hovers over any node/connector.
To show tooltip on mouse over, the tooltip property of diagram model needs to be set with the tooltip content and position as shown in the following example.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :tooltip='tooltip'
:constraints='constraints'>
</ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram, DiagramConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
const nodes = [{
id: "node1",
height: 60,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 80,
annotations: [{
content: "start"
}]
}];
const width = "100%";
const height = "350px";
const constraints = DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.Tooltip;
const tooltip = {
content: 'Nodes',
position: 'TopLeft'
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style><template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :tooltip='tooltip'
:constraints='constraints'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent, DiagramConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
let nodes = [{
id: "node1",
height: 60,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 80,
annotations: [{
content: "start"
}]
}]
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
},
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
constraints: DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.Tooltip,
nodes: nodes,
tooltip: {
content: 'Nodes',
position: 'TopLeft'
}
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style>Disable tooltip at runtime
The tooltip on mouse over can be disabled by assigning the tooltip property as null. The following code example illustrates how to disable the mouse over tooltip at runtime.
export default {
name: 'app'
data () {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
tooltip: null
}
}
}Tooltip for a specific node/connector
The tooltip can be customized for each node and connector. Remove the InheritTooltip option from the constraints of that node/connector. The following code example illustrates how to customize the tooltip for individual elements.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :tooltip='tooltip'
:constraints='constraints'>
</ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { DiagramComponent as EjsDiagram, DiagramConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
let nodes = [{
id: "node1",
height: 60,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 80,
annotations: [{
content: "start"
}]
}];
const width = "100%";
const height = "350px";
const constraints = DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.Tooltip;
//Defines mouse over tooltip for a node
const tooltip = {
//Sets the content of the Tooltip
content: 'Node1',
//Sets the position of the Tooltip
position: 'BottomRight',
//Sets the tooltip position relative to the node
relativeMode: 'Object'
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style><template>
<div id="app">

</div>
</template>
<script>
import { DiagramComponent, DiagramConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
let nodes = [{
id: "node1",
height: 60,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 80,
annotations: [{
content: "start"
}]
}]
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"ejs-diagram": DiagramComponent
},
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
constraints: DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.Tooltip,
nodes: nodes,
//Defines mouse over tooltip for a node
tooltip: {
//Sets the content of the Tooltip
content: 'Node1',
//Sets the position of the Tooltip

//Sets the tooltip position relative to the node
relativeMode: 'Object'
},
}
}
}
</script>

</style>Tooltip for Ports
The tooltip feature has been implemented to support Ports, providing the ability to display information or descriptions when the mouse hovers over them.
To display tooltips on mouseover, set the desired tooltip content by utilizing the tooltip property.
Tooltips for Ports can be enabled or disabled using the PortConstraints Tooltip property.
let ports: [{
offset: {x: 1,y: 0.5},
tooltip: {content: 'Port Tootip'},
//enable Port Tooltip Constraints
constraints: PortConstraints.Default | PortConstraints.ToolTip,
//disable Port Tooltip Constraints
constraints: PortConstraints.Default ~& PortConstraints.ToolTip
}]Dynamic modification of tooltip content is supported, allowing you to change the displayed tooltip content during runtime.
{
//change tooltip content at run time
diagram.nodes[0].ports[0].tooltip.content = 'New Tooltip Content';
diagram.databind;
}The following image illustrates how the diagram displays tooltips during an interaction with ports:
Here, the code provided below demonstrates the port tooltip Interaction.

Any text or image can be added to the tooltip, by default. To customize the tooltip layout or to create your own visualized element on the tooltip, template can be used.
The following code example illustrates how to add formatted HTML content to the tooltip.

</style>Tooltip alignments
Tooltip relative to object
The diagram provides support to show tooltip around the node/connector that is hovered by the mouse. The tooltip can be aligned by using the position property of the tooltip.
The relativeMode property of the tooltip defines whether the tooltip has to be displayed around the object or at the mouse position.
The following code example illustrates how to position the tooltip around object.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :tooltip='tooltip'

}]
const width = "100%";
const height = "350px";
const constraints = DiagramConstraints.Default | DiagramConstraints.Tooltip;
//Defines mouse over tooltip for a node
const tooltip = {
content: 'Node1',
//Sets the alignment properties
position: 'BottomRight',
//Sets to show tooltip around the element
relativeMode: 'Object',
}

</style>Tooltip relative to mouse position
To display the tooltip at mouse position, need to set mouse option to the relativeMode property of the tooltip.
The following code example illustrates how to show tooltip at mouse position.
