Hello sir,

 

thanks for your reply. But is it not possible for me to add the tooltip in the file itself? and not using java?

Hi Philipp,

 

I add tooltip as following: (tagName can be title or desc)

 

      public static void addTooltip(Element shape, String tagName, String text) {

 

            // remove the old <desc> tooltip, if any

            NodeList nodelist = shape.getElementsByTagNameNS( svgNS , tagName);

            for ( int i = 0; i < nodelist.getLength(); i++)

                  shape.removeChild(nodelist.item(i));

 

            // now add the new <desc> tooltip, if any

            if (text != null ) {

                  // create a <desc> element and its text node which contains the tip text.

                  Element textEl = shape.getOwnerDocument().createElementNS( svgNS , tagName);

                  Text text_node = shape.getOwnerDocument().createTextNode(text);

                  textEl.appendChild(text_node);

                  // append the tooltip <desc> to the ID'd element

                  shape.appendChild(textEl);

            }

      }

 

I hope this helps.

Betreff: Tooltips with Batik

 

Hello there,

 

I am trying to show some tooltips in the SVG elements that are loaded in my batik canvas. I am using the <title> attribute for this, but it seems that it does not work. Do you have any idea how to put tooltips in SVG elements tthat are loaded in the Batik Canvas?

 

 

Thanks
