Question

Answer 1

For custom tooltips, add the tooltip as an extra column:

function drawVisualization() {
    data = new google.visualization.DataTable()
    data.addColumn('string', 'Date');
    data.addColumn('number');
    data.addColumn({type:'string',role:'tooltip'});
    data.addRow();
    base = 10;
    data.setValue(0, 0, 'Datapoint1');
    data.setValue(0, 1, base++);
    data.setValue(0, 2, " This is my tooltip1 ");

    data.addRow();
    data.setValue(1, 0, 'Datapoint2');
    data.setValue(1, 1, base++);
    data.setValue(1, 2, "This is my second tooltip2");

    // Draw the chart.
    var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('visualization'));
    chart.draw(data, {legend:'none', width:600, height:400});
}

@Adam; If you want to edit text then check this http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#pie_chart

you can change your code from here

function drawVisualization() {
  // Create and populate the data table.
  var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
  data.addColumn('string', 'Task');
  data.addColumn('number', 'Hours per Day');
  data.addRows(5);
  data.setValue(0, 0, 'Work');
  data.setValue(0, 1, 11);
  data.setValue(1, 0, 'Eat');
  data.setValue(1, 1, 2);
  data.setValue(2, 0, 'Commute');
  data.setValue(2, 1, 2);
  data.setValue(3, 0, 'Watch TV');
  data.setValue(3, 1, 2);
  data.setValue(4, 0, 'Sleep');
  data.setValue(4, 1, 7);

and if you want your custom tooltip you have to use javascript for these
