today I wanted to try the new PrimeFaces release 3.4.RC1. For charts there is a new attribute called datatipFormat.
I want to show only the value (y-axis) in a line chart as datatip. Like this:
What do I have to do to show only this? I could not find an example with a template String.
Best Regards Veote
Primefaces uses a jqPlot Library for Charts. There I found the following entry:
Highlighter.formatString
I tried (example from Primefaces Showcase):
UserBean
public String getDatatipFormat(){ return "%s"; } and with this little trick is only y-axis displays.
You can use the extender property of all PrimeFaces chart tags to override default plot options. Example:
... Other available jqplot options can be found here: http://www.jqplot.com/docs/files/jqPlotOptions-txt.html but please note that the document says it is out of date.
datatipFormat uses sprintf to format the string for the tooltip, so you can print only the second parameter (y-axis):
Tip for BarChartModel():
public String getDatatipFormatX() { return "%s"; } Tip for HorizontalBarChartModel():
public String getDatatipFormatY() { return "%s"; } Examples of usage:
private void MyCharts(){ //get data (from database, for example) to be displayed myBarChartModel = new BarChartModel(); myHorizontalBarChartModel = new HorizontalBarChartModel(); ChartSeries verticalSeries = new ChartSeries("verticalSeries"); ChartSeries horizontalSeries = new ChartSeries("horizontalSeries"); myBarChartModel.addSeries(verticalSeries); myHorizontalBarChartModel.addSeries(horizontalSeries); myBarChartModel.setDatatipFormat(getDatatipFormatX()); myHorizontalBarChartModel.setDatatipFormat(getDatatipFormatY()); //other chart settings... } Then, in JSF page:
