nvd3 piechart.js - How to edit the tooltip?
Solution 1
Just override in this way it will work definitely
function tooltipContent(key, y, e, graph) {
return '<h3>' + key + '</h3>' +'<p>' + y + '</p>' ;
}
Or
tooltipContent(function(key, y, e, graph) { return 'Some String' })
Solution 2
I have just got the same problem, with nvd3 1.8.1, and this is the solution I've found.
Without the option useInteractiveGuideline
you could simply declare your tooltip generating function in chart.tooltip.contentGenerator(function (d){ YOUR_FUNCTION_HERE})
:
The argument d
is given by nvd3 when calling the tooltip, and it has three properties :
value
: the x-axis value for the cursor positionindex
: the index in chart'sdatum
corresponding to the the cursor positionseries
: an array containing, for each item in the chart :key
: the legend key for that itemvalue
: the y-axis value for that item at the cursor positioncolor
: the legend color for that item
So here you have an example:
chart.tooltip.contentGenerator(function (d) {
var html = "<h2>"+d.value+"</h2> <ul>";
d.series.forEach(function(elem){
html += "<li><h3 style='color:"+elem.color+"'>"
+elem.key+"</h3> : <b>"+elem.value+"</b></li>";
})
html += "</ul>"
return html;
})
Important note
When the option useInteractiveGuideline
is used, the chart.tooltip
object isn't used to generate the tooltip, you must instead use the chart.interactiveLayer.tooltip
, i.e.:
this.chart.interactiveLayer.tooltip.contentGenerator(function (d) { ... })
I hope the answer is useful for you, even if late.
Solution 3
Customized tooltip can not exist with "useInteractiveGuideline".
Solution 4
If you happen to use the Angular NVD3 wrapper, the way to set the custom message is through chart options, simply:
$scope.options = {
chart: {
...
tooltip: {
contentGenerator: function(d) {
return d.series[0].key + ' ' + d.series[0].value;
}
},
...
}
};
Solution 5
To add to previous answers, sometimes you want to use the data of the series and not only of x
and y
. For instance when
data = {'values': [{'month': 1, 'count': 2}, ...], 'key': 'test' }
For those situations, use
.tooltip(function(key, x, y, e, graph) {
var d = e.series.values[e.pointIndex];
return '<h3>' + e.series.key + '</h3><p>' + d.month.toString() + ...;
});
e.series
is the particular series the mouse is hovering, e.pointIndex
is the index on the values of the series. Here e.series.key == key
, but I used to empathise what is e.series
.

I'm using nvd3's piechart.js component to generate a piechart on my site. The provided .js file includes several var's, as follows:
var margin = {top: 30, right: 20, bottom: 20, left: 20} , width = null , height = null , showLegend = true , color = nv.utils.defaultColor() , tooltips = true , tooltip = function(key, y, e, graph) { return '<h3>' + key + '</h3>' + '<p>' + y + '</p>' } , noData = "No Data Available." , dispatch = d3.dispatch('tooltipShow', 'tooltipHide') ;
In my in-line js, I've been able to override some of those variables, like this (overriding showLegend and margin):
var chart = nv.models.pieChart() .x(function(d) { return d.label }) .y(function(d) { return d.value }) .showLabels(false) .showLegend(false) .margin({top: 10, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0}) .donut(true);
I've tried overwriting the tooltip in the same way:
.tooltip(function(key, y, e, graph) { return 'Some String' })
but when I do that, my piechart does not display at all. Why can't I overwrite the tooltip here? Is there another way I can do so? I'd really rather not have to edit piechart.js itself at all; I need to keep that file generic for use in multiple widgets.
And while we're at it, is there some way I can make the entire tooltip into a clickable link?

shabeer90 almost 11 years+1 for the alternative solution. I have been using
.tooltip(..)
for a lot of NVD3 charts, and just had to use.tooltipContent(..)
for the lineChart.js -
nickcoxdotme about 10 yearsJust voted this from -1 to 0. Why was it downvoted? This was helpful.

CupawnTae about 10 yearsit wasn't me, but I'd guess it's because the answer is incorrect - the question was about piecharts, and tooltip doesn't work for pie, it has to be tooltipContent and there shouldn't be an x parameter
-
CupawnTae about 10 yearsthis is incorrect - there's no x parameter in pie charts; the problem is that it should be .tooltipContent as in user1847371's answer

Mitaksh Gupta almost 10 yearscan you please tell me, how I can modify this method for NVD3's linechart coz tooltipcontent is not working in that case?
-
Barrett Clark over 9 yearsWhile the question may have been directed at pie charts I was thankful this was added in. My search was more general.
-
Greg about 9 yearsIt's now possible to have custom content with interactive guidelines as of version 1.8.1 (github.com/novus/nvd3/tree/v1.8.1-alpha).

tooltipContent
is deprecated, usechart.tooltip.contentGenerator
instead -

user2217057 over 3 yearsWould you take a moment to look at my question here stackoverflow.com/questions/64051027/… What you say is very close to what I want to achieve, and your data structure is exactly what I have, but my function(d) has only one argument - d, and I am unable to reach to the custom attributes in values array via the d argument.
