Chart Elements - Tooltip - Tooltip Proximity

Choose the closest element to the mouse.

Also take a look at the radar charts as they use this tooltip style.

This goes into the <head> of the page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

swfobject.embedSWF(
"open-flash-chart.swf", "my_chart",
"350", "350", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf",
{"data-file":"gallery/tooltip-closest.php"} );

</script>
This writes the chart into a div with id="my_chart", right click and view source to see it in action, [the tutorials have more details]

gallery/tooltip-closest.php
<?php

include '../php-ofc-library/open-flash-chart.php';
// also include the sugar (helper funtions)
include '../php-ofc-library/ofc_sugar.php';


$chart = new open_flash_chart();

$title = new titledate("D M d Y") );
$chart->set_title$title );

//
// plot a wobbly circle
//
$s2 = new scatter'#D600FF');
$s2->set_default_dot_style( new s_star('#8B1D55'4) ); 
$v = array();

for( 
$i=0$i<360$i+=)
{
    
    
$r rand3,);
    
$v[] = new scatter_value(
        
number_format(sin(deg2rad($i))*$r2'.'''),
        
number_format(cos(deg2rad($i))*$r2'.''') );    
}
$s2->set_values$v );
$chart->add_element$s2 );

$x = new x_axis();
$x->set_range( -5);
$chart->set_x_axis$x );

$y = new x_axis();
$y->set_range( -5);
$chart->add_y_axis$y );


$tooltip = new tooltip();
//
// LOOK:
//
$tooltip->set_proximity();
//
//
//
$tooltip->set_stroke);
$tooltip->set_colour"#000000" );
$tooltip->set_background_colour"#ffffff" ); 
$chart->set_tooltip$tooltip );


echo 
$chart->toPrettyString();
To see the data produced : gallery/tooltip-closest.php, then 'view source'.
