[visualization-api] Show tooltips by default

[Jan]

Is it possible to configure column charts so their exact total appears on top of the columns? It's almost like a defaul-on tooltip.

I've looked around but I can't seem to find out where this configuration would be.

Thanks

Are you referring to the Image Charts API or the Visualization API?

If you are working with the Image Charts, this is the wrong place to ask.  If you are working with the Visualization API, then you can't do it.

Sorry, but it isn't possible in the API yet, and there is no work-around.  You can make a feature request for it here, if you like.

There's no way to show the value above the bar, but always show tooltip is possible using the focusTarget: 'category' option.

focusTarget: 'category' does't make the tooltips show all the time, unless there is some other configuration option that I don't know of that makes it so.

Thanks

It doesn't? http://savedbythegoog.appspot.com/?id=226e67592a124f9bc8880f851b641c334b158345

Those aren't visible all the time, you have to mouse over the points to view them.

Ah, so if I understood correctly, you meant "show all values of all points all the time", while I thought you meant "show values of all points that belong to the same X value as the mouse cursor, without needing to be accurate also with the mouse Y coordinate". What you meant is indeed not supported.

Hmm... I think I may have been incorrect semantically. In simplest terms, I want to be able to statically display values of data points, values which would normally only display on mouse hover.

I think this would be very effective in line charts and bar charts. In my case, I need to show the total value of each stacked column. Take this as an example: http://jsfiddle.net/YQaXK/34/. Notice the numbers on top of each column. They represent the total value of each column.

Is this possible? 

I'm currently looking into using role: 'annotations', since annotations are static texts on the chart. Could this be a possible workaround?

I hadn't though of that...using the annotation role might be a way around it.  Try it out and let us know how it works for you.
