Feature request: tooltips for axis values

[Suzanne Paley]

I have a column chart with a discrete hAxis.  My hAxis category labels are abbreviated forms of a longer string, which I would like to show in a tooltip, but there doesn't seem to be any way to accomplish that.  I wouldn't even mind rolling my own tooltips, but it seems that no mouseover event is even triggered when I mouse over a category label.

Also (or perhaps alternatively), is there any way to force a linebreak in a category label?  I'm seeing longish labels overlapping even when I think they should be split over multiple lines, and I'm not sure how to prevent that.

Hi Suzanne,

We don't have tooltips for axis labels, though we have though about adding support for that.  At best, you could use something like jQuery to attach event handlers to the generated text elements, but that sounds rather brittle.

Regarding tick labels with linebreaks, all you have to do is include a newline character in your label.  e.g. 'United\nStates'.  You can do this just for the formatted representation if you like:

  [{v: 'US', f: 'United\nStates'}, ...]

The newline character is converted into whitespace when the formatted representation is used in a tooltip.
