1 min read
Essential Chart supports customization of the crosshair axis label dynamically in trackAxisToolTip event. Refer to the Chart Events for more information about events available in Chart. Refer to the TrackAxisToolTip for more information about the argument available in event handler for trackAxisToolTip event.
The event handler provides an object as an argument that contains the properties like cancel, data, model and type. The crosshair label text can be customized by using currentText property of data in the parameter object.
JS
<div id="container"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> //Event handler for crosshair label text function crosshairLabel(sender) { if (sender.data.chartAxis.orientation == 'horizontal') sender.data.currentTrackText = 'Item No: ' + sender.data.currentTrackText; } $(function () { $("#container").ejChart({ trackAxisToolTip: 'crosshairLabel', primaryXAxis: { crosshairLabel: { visible: true } }, primaryYAxis: { crosshairLabel: { visible: true } }, commonSeriesOptions: { type: 'line', dashArray: '10, 5', }, crosshair: { visible:true } }); }); </script>
