  • object The chart object.
  • index The index of the element (that triggered the tooltip).
  • sequentialIndex The sequential index of the element that was clicked.

tooltipsFormattedKeyColorsCss By using this property you can add CSS values to the key color shape that appears in the tooltip key. Note the property name is "color" and not "colors" like previous properties. It should be an object of CSS properties like this:
tooltipsFormattedKeyColorsCss : {
    border: "1 px solid #ddd";
}
null
tooltipsFormattedListTypeWith this property you can switch between an unordered list (the default) and an ordered list. Possible values are ul and ol.ul

tooltipsFormattedListItems: [
    ['Bill','Jerry','Berty'], // First tooltip
    ['Gill','Carrie','Lucy'], // Second tooltip
    ['Pob','Nobby','Hilda']   // Third tooltip

null
tooltipsFormattedTableHeadersWhen showing a table in the tooltips this can be an array of headers for the table. These are added to the tooltip using th tags.null

tooltipsPointerBy default the tooltips have a small triangular pointer that points to the shape that was clicked on. You can turn this off with this property.true
tooltipsPointerCssIf you want any CSS values applied to the tooltips pointer (a CSS border, for example) then specify an object containing those values to this property. For example:
tooltips: {
    borderLeft: 'gray 2px solid',
    borderBottom: 'gray 2px solid'
}
null
tooltipsPositionStaticThe new default (as of August 2020) is for tooltips to be positioned statically and not be dependent on the mouse position. If you don't want this for whatever reason, you can disable it with this setting. When you set it to false tooltips are positioned next to the mouse pointer.true
tooltipsCssIf you want to specify some CSS that gets applied to all of the tooltips, but don't want to use the RGraph.SVG.tooltips.style object (which gets applied to all of the tooltips on the page for every chart) you can use this property to give some per-object CSS for the tooltips.

tooltipsFormattedKeyLabels
The labels that are used in the formatted tooltip key.
Default: [] (an empty array)

tooltipsFormattedKeyColors
The colors that are used in the formatted tooltip key. Normally these are automatically taken from the colors on the chart but can be specified differently using this property.
Default: null

tooltipsFormattedKeyColorsShape
This is the shape that's used in the tooltip key. It can be square or circle
Default: square

tooltipsFormattedKeyColorsCss
By using this property you can add CSS values to the key color shape that appears in the tooltip key. Note the property name is "color" and not "colors" like previous properties. It should be an object of CSS properties like this:
tooltipsFormattedKeyColorsCss : {
    border: "1 px solid #ddd";
}

Default: null

tooltipsFormattedListType
With this property you can switch between an unordered list (the default) and an ordered list. Possible values are ul and ol.
Default: ul

tooltipsFormattedListItems
This should be a two-dimension array of the list items that are to be shown for all of the tooltips. An example of this property is:
tooltipsFormattedListItems: [
    ['Bill','Jerry','Berty'], // First tooltip
    ['Gill','Carrie','Lucy'], // Second tooltip
    ['Pob','Nobby','Hilda']   // Third tooltip
]
You can use CSS to style this list - for example:
.RGraph_tooltip ul#rgraph_formatted_tooltips_list li {
    text-align: left;
    color: yellow;
}

Default: null

tooltipsFormattedTableHeaders
When showing a table in the tooltips this can be an array of headers for the table. These are added to the tooltip using th tags.
Default: null

tooltipsFormattedTableData
This is the data that is added to the table. This is a 3-dimensional array so it's easy to make a mistake. See the example in the canvas documentation, copy the code from it and then modify it suit. You'll create fewer bugs this way.
Default: null)

tooltipsPointer
By default the tooltips have a small triangular pointer that points to the shape that was clicked on. You can turn this off with this property.
Default: true

tooltipsPointerCss
If you want any CSS values applied to the tooltips pointer (a CSS border, for example) then specify an object containing those values to this property. For example:
tooltips: {
    borderLeft: 'gray 2px solid',
    borderBottom: 'gray 2px solid'
}

Default: null

tooltipsPositionStatic
The new default (as of August 2020) is for tooltips to be positioned statically and not be dependent on the mouse position. If you don't want this for whatever reason, you can disable it with this setting. When you set it to false tooltips are positioned next to the mouse pointer.
Default: true

tooltipsCss
If you want to specify some CSS that gets applied to all of the tooltips, but don't want to use the RGraph.SVG.tooltips.style object (which gets applied to all of the tooltips on the page for every chart) you can use this property to give some per-object CSS for the tooltips. These are CSS styles that get applied to all of the tooltips for the specific object only. It should look like this:
tooltipsCss: {
    fontFamily: 'Verdana',
    fontSize: '20pt'
}

Default: null

tooltipsCssClass
The CSS class that's applied to the tooltip div.
Default: RGraph_tooltip

Methods

obj.get(name)

This can be used to get properties if necessary. It's normally used after the chart is drawn if you need to get parameters (if you're doing custom coding for example).

obj.set(name, value)

This can be used to set properties if necessary. It's normally used after the chart is drawn if you need to set additional parameters or change them.

obj.getWidth(value)

This returns the width that represents the given value. It does not give you a start or end point - just the width.

obj.getLeftXCoord(value)

This returns the left-hand-side X-axis coordinate for a given value. The left X-axis coordinate can be retrieved by doing this:

<script>
    x0 = obj.get('marginLeft') + obj.graphWidth;
</script>
obj.getRightXCoord(value)

This returns the right-hand-side X-axis coordinate for a given value. The right X-axis coordinate can be retrieved by doing this:

<script>
    x0 = obj.get('marginLeft') + obj.graphWidth + obj.get('marginCenter');
</script>
obj.on(event, handler)

This function adds an event listener (such as beforedraw or draw) to the chart object. For example:

obj.on('draw', function (obj)
{
    // Put your code here
});
obj.exec(func)

This function can be used to execute a function (immediately). It's not event-based (ie it doesn't run when something happens) - it just runs immediately - and only once. You might use it when you need to get something from the chart when it's drawn and then call the redraw function. Because this function only runs once the RGraph.SVG.redraw function would not cause a loop - which would happen if you used the draw event.

obj.exec(function (obj)
{
    // Put your code here
});
obj.responsive(configuration)

The responsive function helps your charts respond to different browser window sizes and screen resolutions. For example, for smaller screens, you might want to have angled labels or show shorter versions of them completely.

The responsive function is documented on its own page here.

Data properties that are used on the bars

The SVG rect elements that represent the bars on the Bipolar chart have various data attributes added to them that hold various bits of information. These are:

These can be retrieved by using standard DOM methods:

obj.coords[0].element.getAttribute('data-sequential-index');

Events

RGraph supports custom events that allow you to easily add interactivity to your charts if required. The following events are available:

For example:
new RGraph.SVG.Bipolar({
    id: 'chart-container',
    left: [4,8,6,4,5,2,3],
    right: [8,4,6,3,5,8,4],
    options: {
    }
}).on('draw', function (obj)
{
    console.log('The draw event has fired');
    
}).draw();

Effects

These effects are available and can be used instead of the draw function.
<script>
    //
    // Optional callback function that's called when the effect is complete
    //
    function myCallback (obj)
    {
        // ...
    }

    obj = new RGraph.SVG.Bipolar({
        id: 'chart-container',
        left:  [4,8,6,3,6,9,8],
        right: [4,5,3,5,6,1,2],
        options: {
        }
    }).grow({frames: 60, callback: myCallback});
</script>
