barchart tooltip position

[Moritz Beber]

Dear all,

I'm using a dashboard with a BarChart and custom HTML tooltip. The focus target of the tooltip is the category. This used to work nicely but since the latest release, the tooltip appears dead centre under the tooltip. That means I can only get the next tooltip when hovering the mouse over a bar outside the current tooltip. So it covers a couple of bars which is very annoying.

I have found the following (very similar) solutions to shift the tooltip position:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24795432/how-to-change-pop-up-location-of-google-charts-tooltip
https://www.mail-archive.com/google-visua...@googlegroups.com/msg26167.html

However, I'm not sure if I should add the listener to the chart or dashboard in my case? The listener function seems to be executed either way. When I hover over the bars I do get an error, though: "TypeError: tooltip is null". So no div with class google-visualization-tooltip is found by the selector in the container. When I check the variable container in the linked solutions, it turns out to be an empty div.

All I want to do is have the tooltip appear next to the mouse pointer. Can anyone help, please?

Cheers,
Moritz

Thank you. That's an easier option.
