I'm building an app with D3.js that displays a data in a tree-map. Ideally what I would like to is give the tree-map a tool-tip to display more info on each node of the tree-map. The tree-map is fed data from a .JSON file.
I am currently working with the jquery plug-in Poshy Tip
where I can pass this info through the title=
attribute. I know I need to somehow add the title attribute to the svg:g element in the tree-map but I can't figure out where I set each nodes title attr.
Heres the beginning of my script where I make all my declarations etc...
<div id="chart"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tree = d3.layout.tree()
.size([h, w - 160]);
var diagonal = d3.svg.diagonal()
.projection(function(d) { return [d.y, d.x]; });
var vis = d3.select("#chart").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h)
.append("svg:g")
.attr("transform", "translate(40,0)");
d3.json("test.json", function(json) {
json.x0 = 800;
json.y0 = 0;
update(root = json);
});
Here is how I am using poshytip()
in the head
$(function(){
$('node').poshytip({slide: false, followCursor: true, alignTo: 'cursor',
showTimeout: 0, hideTimeout: 0, alignX: 'center', alignY: 'inner-bottom',
className: 'tip-twitter'});
}
Pretty much I just want to be able to "mouseover" the individual items in the interactive tree-map and get a tooltip to pop-up.. but i havent had any luck. How can I set each item to have a specific Id.. do I do that in the .JSON file? Is there an easier way to do this? Am I going about this in the wrong manner? Any help would be great.
var vis = d3.select("#chart").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
var yourGElement = vis.append("svg:g").attr("transform", "translate(40,0)");
yourGElement.append("svg:title").text("Your tooltip info");
