How do people show tooltips over reused symbols on a JSVGCanvas? Is this related to xlink:title?

[Dan Slater]

Hi, everyone,

Does Batik support xlink:title?  I saw some discussion by Cameron McCormack, Schepers, and others here
http://markmail.org/message/3kj3cxob5wi75p3s but don't really understand the extent of the issue.  I suspect this is related to tooltips for <use> elements referencing symbols defined at the start of the document.  (I'm still trying to decipher the xlink system)

12 days ago I posted a question re: Tooltips won't show up over my <use> elements, but no response.  Maybe this indicates it can't be done.  I hope I'm not asking in the wrong forum, but I think it's part of JSVGCanvas functionality.  I've got tooltips working over all of my basic shapes.

There's got to be a way to show a customized tooltip over a reused symbol.  Isn't this a common use of symbols with mapping?  e.g. 5 identical symbols placed for, say, parks, but pop up the different name of each park on mouseover.

Can anyone please give me a hint, or a workaround?  I'd much appreciate it.  Batik has been pretty amazing for everything else I've tried, but this issue leaves me scratching my head.

Thanks,
