30 May 202324 minutes to read

SfChart provides interactive features such as zooming, selection, and tracking data points.

The following interactive features are supported in SfChart.

  • Tooltip
  • TrackBall
  • Visual Data Editing
  • Zoom and Pan
  • Selection
  • Resizing Scrollbar
  • CrossHair

Tooltip

The Tooltip feature allows you to display any information over a ChartSeries. It is used in conjunction with the pointer or at the data point position. It appears when the mouse hovers over any chart segment. It is set to display the metadata of the particular segment or data point.

By default, a small box containing the data points y values are displayed as the Tooltip. The y values vary depending on the ChartSeries. For example, a single y value is usually displayed in the Column and BarSeries. In the FinancialSeries, high, low, open, and close values are displayed in Tooltip.

The tooltip will be visible if you enable ShowTooltip property as in the below code snippet.

<syncfusion:ColumnSeries  ShowTooltip="True"                                                  

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" 

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2010"/>

<syncfusion:ColumnSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" 

ShowTooltip="True"                           

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"/>
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true

};

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    ShowTooltip = true

};

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);

Customizing tooltip using ChartTooltipBehavior

The ChartTooltipBehavior is commonly used for all series to customize the tooltip. For customizing the tooltip, you can create an instance ChartTooltipBehavior and add it to the SfChart Behaviors collection.

The following properties are used to customize and configure tooltip which is available in the ChartTooltipBehavior.

  • EnableAnimation - Used to enable the animation when showing the tooltip.
  • Position - Used to position the tooltip at the data point position or the cursor position.
  • Style - Used to customize the fill and stroke of the tooltip.
  • LabelStyle - Used to customize the tooltip label.
  • HorizontalOffset - Used to position the tooltip at a distance from the data point or cursor position horizontally.
  • VerticalOffset - Used to position the tooltip at a distance from the data point or cursor position vertically.
  • HorizontalAlignment - Used to align the tooltip label at left, right and center of the data point position or cursor position horizontally.
  • VerticalAlignment - Used to align the tooltip label at top, center and bottom of the data point position or cursor position vertically.
  • ShowDuration - Used to set the amount of time that the tooltip remains visible in milliseconds.
  • InitialShowDelay - Used to delay in milliseconds to show the tooltip once the user interacts with series.
<chart:SfChart.Behaviors>

<chart:ChartTooltipBehavior/>                                                  

</chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartTooltipBehavior behavior = new ChartTooltipBehavior();

chart.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

Positioning the tooltip

Tooltip can be positioned at the data point position or the cursor position using the Position property. The Auto will position the tooltip at the data point position and the Pointer will display the tooltip in conjunction with the mouse pointer itself when hovering the mouse inside any chart segment.

NOTE

By default, the tooltip Position is set to Auto.

The following code example explains positioning the tooltip at Pointer position.

<chart:SfChart.Behaviors>

<chart:ChartTooltipBehavior x:Name="chartTooltipBehavior" Position="Pointer"/>                                               

</chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();
...
ChartTooltipBehavior chartTooltipBehavior = new ChartTooltipBehavior();
chartTooltipBehavior.Position = TooltipPosition.Pointer;
chart.Behaviors.Add(chartTooltipBehavior);

Customizing the tooltip background

The tooltip’s fill and stroke color can be customized using the Style property. To define a style for tooltip background, specify the style of TargetType as Path.

The following code example explains applying the style for tooltip.

<chart:SfChart.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="Path" x:Key="style">
       <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Gray"/>
       <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Black"/>
    </Style>
</chart:SfChart.Resources>
...
<chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
    <chart:ChartTooltipBehavior LabelStyle = {StaticResource style}/>
</chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();
Style style = new Style(typeof(Path));
style.Setters.Add(new Setter(Path.StrokeProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Gray)));
style.Setters.Add(new Setter(Path.FillProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black)));
...
ChartTooltipBehavior tooltipBehavior = new ChartTooltipBehavior();
tooltipBehavior.Style = style;
chart.Behaviors.Add(tooltipBehavior);

Customizing the tooltip label style

The tooltip label style can be customized using the LabelStyle property. To define a style for the tooltip label, specify the style of TargetType as TextBlock.

The following code example explains applying the style for a tooltip label.

<chart:SfChart.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="labelStyle">
       <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14"/>
       <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
    </Style>
</chart:SfChart.Resources>
...
<chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
   <chart:ChartTooltipBehavior LabelStyle = {StaticResource labelStyle}/>
</chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();
Style labelStyle = new Style(typeof(TextBlock));
labelStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(TextBlock.FontSizeProperty, 14d));
labelStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(TextBlock.ForegroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red)));
...
ChartTooltipBehavior tooltipBehavior = new ChartTooltipBehavior();
tooltipBehavior.LabelStyle = labelStyle;
chart.Behaviors.Add(tooltipBehavior);

Aligning the Tooltip

The tooltip can be aligned with respect to the cursor position using HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties.

HorizontalAlignment

The following code example illustrates the positioning of tooltip to left of the cursor.

<Chart:ColumnSeries ShowTooltip="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"  

Chart:ChartTooltip.HorizontalAlignment="Left"

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2010" />

<Chart:ColumnSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" 

Chart:ChartTooltip.HorizontalAlignment="Left" ShowTooltip="True"

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"/>
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true
    
};

ChartTooltip.SetHorizontalAlignment(series1, HorizontalAlignment.Left);

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    ShowTooltip = true

};

ChartTooltip.SetHorizontalAlignment(series2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);

NOTE

By default the HorizontalAlignment is center for the tooltip.

VerticalAlignment

The following code example illustrates the positioning of tooltip to bottom of the cursor.

<Chart:ColumnSeries ShowTooltip="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"  

Chart:ChartTooltip.VerticalAlignment="Bottom"

XBindingPath="Demand" YBindingPath="Year2010" />

<Chart:ColumnSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"

Chart:ChartTooltip.VerticalAlignment="Bottom"

ShowTooltip="True" XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"/>
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true
    
};

ChartTooltip.SetVerticalAlignment(series1, VerticalAlignment.Bottom);

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    ShowTooltip = true

};

ChartTooltip.SetVerticalAlignment(series2, VerticalAlignment.Bottom);

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);

TooltipMargin

You can also set the distance for the margin to be positioned from the cursor using the TooltipMargin property as in the following code sample.

<Chart:ColumnSeries Label="2010" ShowTooltip="True"

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"   Interior="#777777"

Chart:ChartTooltip.TooltipMargin="25"

XBindingPath="Demand" YBindingPath="Year2010" />

<Chart:ColumnSeries Label="2011"  ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"

Interior="#4A4A4A"

Chart:ChartTooltip.TooltipMargin="25"

ShowTooltip="True" XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"/>
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x77, 0x77, 0x77)),

    Label = "2010"

};

ChartTooltip.SetTooltipMargin(series1, new Thickness(25));

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x4A, 0x4A, 0x4A)),

    Label = "2011"

};

ChartTooltip.SetTooltipMargin(series2, new Thickness(25));

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);

NOTE

By default the VerticalAlignment of the Tooltip is Top

VerticalOffset and HorizontalOffset

The tooltip can be positioned at a particular distance from the cursor horizontally using HorizontalOffset and vertically using VerticalOffset properties.

<Chart:ColumnSeries ShowTooltip="True"

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" 

Chart:ChartTooltip.HorizontalOffset="40"

Chart:ChartTooltip.VerticalOffset="40"

XBindingPath="Demand" YBindingPath="Year2010" />

<Chart:ColumnSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"

Chart:ChartTooltip.HorizontalOffset="40"

Chart:ChartTooltip.VerticalOffset="40" ShowTooltip="True"

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"/>
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x77, 0x77, 0x77)),

    Label = "2010"

};

ChartTooltip.SetHorizontalOffset(series1, 40);

ChartTooltip.SetVerticalOffset(series1, 40);

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x4A, 0x4A, 0x4A)),

    Label = "2011"

};

ChartTooltip.SetHorizontalOffset(series2, 40);

ChartTooltip.SetVerticalOffset(series2, 40);

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);

Tooltip Duration

The ShowDuration property in the ChartTooltip sets the duration time for the tooltip to be displayed in milliseconds.

The following code example demonstrates the duration of the tooltip set as 5 seconds.

<Chart:ColumnSeries ShowTooltip="True"  

Chart:ChartTooltip.ShowDuration="5000"                                          

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" Interior="#777777"                                     

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2010">                                   

</Chart:ColumnSeries>
ColumnSeries series = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x77, 0x77, 0x77)),

    Label = "2010"

};

ChartTooltip.SetShowDuration(series, 5000);

chart.Series.Add(series);

NOTE

The tooltip by default will be displayed for 1000 milliseconds.

Show delay

Tooltip also has support for delay the time to display by setting the SetInitialShowDelay property in milliseconds.

The following code example explains the tooltip will be delayed for 1 second before the display.

<Chart:ColumnSeries Label="2010" ShowTooltip="True"  

Chart:ChartTooltip.InitialShowDelay="1000"                                          

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" Interior="#777777"                                     

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2010" />
ColumnSeries series = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x77, 0x77, 0x77)),

    Label = "2010"

};

ChartTooltip.SetInitialShowDelay(series, 1000);

chart.Series.Add(series);

Animation for Tooltip

You can also provide animation effects for tooltip by setting EnableAnimation property as true as shown in the below code snippet.

<Chart:ColumnSeries Label="2010" ShowTooltip="True"  

Chart:ChartTooltip.EnableAnimation="True"                                          

ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}" Interior="#777777"                                     

XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2010">                                   

</Chart:ColumnSeries>
ColumnSeries series = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0x77, 0x77, 0x77)),

    Label = "2010"

};

ChartTooltip.SetEnableAnimation(series, true);

chart.Series.Add(series);

Customizing the Tooltip

The TooltipTemplate property allows you to customize the default appearance of the tooltip as explained in the following code sample.

...
<chart:SfChart.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="tooltipTemplate1">
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Item.Demand}"
                Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            <TextBlock Text=" : " Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Item.Year2010}"
                Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>

    <DataTemplate x:Key="tooltipTemplate2">
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Item.Demand}"
                Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            <TextBlock Text=" : " Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Item.Year2011}"
                Foreground="Black" FontWeight="Medium" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>

    <Style TargetType="Path" x:Key="style">
        <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="Fill" Value="LightGreen"/>
        <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2"/>
    </Style>
</chart:SfChart.Resources>
...

<chart:ColumnSeries ShowTooltip="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"
    XBindingPath="Demand" YBindingPath="Year2010" 
    TooltipTemplate="{StaticResource tooltipTemplate1}">
</chart:ColumnSeries>

<chart:ColumnSeries  ItemsSource="{Binding Demands}"
    ShowTooltip="True" XBindingPath="Demand"  YBindingPath="Year2011"
    TooltipTemplate="{StaticResource tooltipTemplate2}">
</chart:ColumnSeries>
...
<chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
    <chart:ChartTooltipBehavior Style="{StaticResource style}"/>
</chart:SfChart.Behaviors>
...
...
ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2010",

    Label = "2010",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    TooltipTemplate = chart.Resources["tooltipTemplate1"] as DataTemplate,

};

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries()
{

    ItemsSource = new ViewModel().Demands,

    XBindingPath = "Demand",

    YBindingPath = "Year2011",

    Label = "2011",

    ShowTooltip = true,

    TooltipTemplate = chart.Resources["tooltipTemplate2"] as DataTemplate,

};

chart.Series.Add(series1);

chart.Series.Add(series2);
...

Tooltip customization support in UWP Chart

NOTE

The ChartTooltipBehavior is commonly used for all series to customize the tooltip. You can use the attached ChartTooltip properties in a series if you need to customize the appearance of the tooltip based on a particular series. Series attached properties are considered as a high precedence.

TrackBall

ChartTrackBallBehavior enables you to track a data point closer to the cursor position. The x values are determined from the position of the vertical line in the axis and y values are determined from the points touching the vertical line in the series.

Adding TrackBall to the SfChart

You can create an instance ChartTrackBallBehavior and add it to the Behaviors collection.

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

<syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior>                                                  

</syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior>

</syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartTrackBallBehavior behavior = new ChartTrackBallBehavior();

chart.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

To view the TrackBall in the particular Axis you have to enable the ShowTrackBallInfo property in that axis as in the below code snippet.

<syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>

<syncfusion:CategoryAxis  ShowTrackBallInfo="True" />

</syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>
ChartTrackBallBehavior behavior = new ChartTrackBallBehavior();

chart.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

chart.PrimaryAxis = new CategoryAxis()
{

    ShowTrackBallInfo = true

};

The default appearance of the trackball in primary axis (CategoryAxis).

TrackBall support in UWP Chart

The Trackball is composed of the following parts.

  1. Vertical Line

  2. Symbol

  3. Axis Label

  4. Series Label

Vertical line

The vertical line in the trackball is visible when you initialize the TrackBallBehavior.If you want to collapse the visibility of the trackball line then you have to set ShowLine to false.

The following code snippet illustrates the collapsing the visibility of trackball line.

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

<syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior ShowLine="False" />

</syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>
ChartTrackBallBehavior behavior = new ChartTrackBallBehavior()
{

    ShowLine = false

};

chart.Behaviors.Add(behavior);

Customization of TrackBall line

SfChart allows you to customize the appearance of trackball vertical line using LineStyle property.

The following code snippet illustrates the customization of trackball line.

<syncfusion:SfChart x:Name="chart">

    <syncfusion:SfChart.Resources>

        <Style TargetType="Line" x:Key="lineStyle">

            <Setter Property="StrokeDashArray" Value="5,1,2"/>

            <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/>

            <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1.2"/>

        </Style>

    </syncfusion:SfChart.Resources>

    <syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

        <syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior LineStyle="{StaticResource lineStyle}"/>

    </syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>
            
</syncfusion:SfChart>
ChartTrackBallBehavior trackball = new ChartTrackBallBehavior()
{

    LineStyle = chart.Resources["lineStyle"] as Style

};

chart.Behaviors.Add(trackball);

Symbol

By default the trackball symbol is displayed as ellipse, to change the default style of the symbol using ChartTrackBallStyle property.

<syncfusion:SfChart x:Name="chart">

    <syncfusion:SfChart.Resources>

        <Style TargetType="syncfusion:ChartTrackBallControl" x:Key="trackballStyle">

            <Setter Property="Background" Value="red"></Setter>

        </Style>

    </syncfusion:SfChart.Resources>

    <syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

        <syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior ChartTrackBallStyle="{StaticResource trackballStyle}"/>

    </syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

</syncfusion:SfChart>
SfChart chart = new SfChart();

ChartTrackBallBehavior trackball = new ChartTrackBallBehavior()
{

    ChartTrackBallStyle = chart.Resources["trackballStyle"] as Style

};

chart.Behaviors.Add(trackball);

Axis label

The axis label will be viewed when the ShowTrackBallInfo property is set to true. If you want to collapse the visibility of axis label in trackball then you have to set ShowTrackballInfo as false.

NOTE

By default the value of ShowTrackBallInfo is false.

Alignment of axis label

The alignment of the axis label while moving trackball can be defined using AxisLabelAlignment property.

Auto –Axis label is aligned in Near/Far positions based on the trackball movement.

Far-Axis label is positioned far from the position of trackball.

Near- Axis label is near to the position of trackball.

Center-Axis label is aligned to the center of the trackball. By default the axis label will positioned in center.

Far

<syncfusion:SfChart.Behaviors>

<syncfusion:ChartTrackBallBehavior AxisLabelAlignment="Far">

Series label

When the trackball is hovered over you can view the label is also displayed over the series in addition the axis label.

ShowTrackballInfo

ShowTrackballInfo property of Cartesian Series allows user to enable or disable the trackball label for corresponding series. By default, ShowTrackballInfo property is true. The property can be set as shown in the below code example:

<syncfusion:SfChart >
            <syncfusion:SplineSeries Interior="#4a4a4a"/>    
            <syncfusion:SplineSeries Interior="#7f7f7f" ShowTrackballInfo="False"/>
            <syncfusion:SplineSeries Interior="#bcbcbc"/>
  </syncfusion:SfChart>
SplineSeries series1 = new SplineSeries()
  {
      Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a))
  };
  chart.Series.Add(series1);
  SplineSeries series2 = new SplineSeries()
  {
      Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0, 0x7f, 0x7f, 0x7f)),
      ShowTrackballInfo = false
  };
  chart.Series.Add(series2);
  SplineSeries series3 = new SplineSeries()
  {
      Interior = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0, 0xbc, 0xbc, 0xbc))
  };
  chart.Series.Add(series3);
