Thanks for the reply, Ely! I really appreciate your input.
> myChart.setStyle("calloutStroke",null);
This works to hide the calloutStroke... ...but the positions of the
dataTip boxes still get offset from the chartItems (in my case, far
away from the DiamondItemRenderers of my plotSeries). In other words,
when dataTipMode="multiple", I want the dataTip boxes to position
themselves like they do when dataTipMode="single": i.e., a few pixels
to the northeast of the chartItem.
My real end goal is to show the all the items in the plotSeries, with
their corresponding dataTips right next to them (I'm using a high
mouseSensitivity to forcibly show multiple dataTips right now, but I
know I'll eventually have to explicitly dispatch MOUSE_OVER, or else
override findDataPoints and toggle all the showDataTips value to
false/true).
If I can't force the offset-positioning of these dataTips in order to
align nicely with their chartItems, do you think I need to use a
custom ItemRenderer instead? Your "StoplightItemRenderer" example at
qs* is quite helpful in this regard, but I can't figure out how I'd
also draw text values from the chartItem adjacent to the
DiamondItemRenderer (e.g., "Smith,John (age 30)" adjacent to the
diamond graphic).
Thanks again for any suggestions; believe me, little bumps in the road
like this don't take away from the enormous benefit this charting API
has already been for us.
