If it helps, here is a Java method that adds a <desc> tooltip to any element.
Seems to work.
public void setDescTooltip( SVGOMDocument doc, Element element, String
desc_text )
{
// remove the old <desc> tooltip, if any
NodeList nodelist = element.getElementsByTagNameNS(
SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI, "desc" );
for (int i = 0; i < nodelist.getLength(); i++)
element.removeChild( nodelist.item( i ) );
// now add the new <desc> tooltip, if any
if (desc_text != null) {
// create a <desc> element and its text node which contains the tip text.
Element desc_element = doc.createElementNS(
SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI, "desc" );
Text text_node = doc.createTextNode( desc_text );
desc_element.appendChild( text_node );
// append the tooltip <desc> to the ID'd element
element.appendChild( desc_element );
}
}
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Eric
