Dojo Graph Tooltip Arrow Appears Incorrectly

Question

For some reason, the arrow on the tooltip for each graph point appears below the actual label(see image). I have tried doing everything to move it and can not figure out why this is happening. The tooltip is generated automatically by dojo's chart library. It appears fine in the demos.

Does anybody have an idea why?

EDIT: I am using Dojo 1.7.2. The code is question is this.linePlotName is part of the object that the method below resides in.

var anim = new dojox.charting.action2d.Tooltip(newLineChart, this.linePlotName);

Answer 1

I had the same issue after I upgraded my Dojo from 1.6 to 1.7.2, but this issue was actually a bug and it is fixed now in 1.7.3: http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/15016 Upgrade and it should be fine.

It's hard to say, without seeing what else is going on in your code. However, it's important to keep in mind that the tooltip's behavior is influenced by the widget/div/frame it's contained in. If there's not enough room to render the tooltip graphic on top of the plot line, it will be drawn under it. Try increasing the size of the container the chart is contained in, and try increasing the size of the chart itself, so there's plenty of room above the plot line for the tooltip to appear, or even try just scrolling up/down. It's best to rule out the easy fixes first. :) If that doesn't work, please comment, and we can go from there...
