I started making some application specific tweaks to the chart series dataTips, and it worked beautifully for ColumnSet (override the protected function formatDataTip), but then I soon realized that only the SET series (subclasses of StackedSeries) have that function as protected. It's actually private on all the standard series.
Is there a reason that it's private on the normal series, but protected on the series sets? I am thinking as a workaround, I'll have to do something like this. what do you think? Use the chart's dataTipFunction, and call back into the series (via hitData.element) to a slightly differently named function (myFormatDataTip) defined on the series subclass. I don't like this because then I have to make sure the myFormatDataTip function exists before calling it, and I make assumption about the signature, but I think that would work... comments? thanks, PW
