I have a set of data that I am plotting in a scatter. When I mouseover one of the circles I would like it to popup with data (like x, y values, maybe more). Here is what I tried using:
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function() {
d3.select(this).enter().append("text")
.text(function(d) {return d.x;})
.attr("x", function(d) {return x(d.x);})
.attr("y", function (d) {return y(d.y);}); });
I suspect I need to be more informative about what data to enter?
This concise example demonstrates common way how to create custom tooltip in d3.
var w = 500;_x000D_
var h = 150;_x000D_
_x000D_
var dataset = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25];_x000D_
_x000D_
// firstly we create div element that we can use as_x000D_
// tooltip container, it have absolute position and_x000D_
// visibility: hidden by default_x000D_
_x000D_
var tooltip = d3.select("body")_x000D_
.append("div")_x000D_
.attr('class', 'tooltip');_x000D_
_x000D_
var svg = d3.select("body")_x000D_
.append("svg")_x000D_
.attr("width", w)_x000D_
.attr("height", h);_x000D_
_x000D_
// here we add some circles on the page_x000D_
_x000D_
var circles = svg.selectAll("circle")_x000D_
.data(dataset)_x000D_
.enter()_x000D_
.append("circle");_x000D_
_x000D_
circles.attr("cx", function(d, i) {_x000D_
return (i * 50) + 25;_x000D_
})_x000D_
.attr("cy", h / 2)_x000D_
.attr("r", function(d) {_x000D_
return d;_x000D_
})_x000D_
_x000D_
// we define "mouseover" handler, here we change tooltip_x000D_
// visibility to "visible" and add appropriate test_x000D_
_x000D_
.on("mouseover", function(d) {_x000D_
return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible").text('radius = ' + d);_x000D_
})_x000D_
_x000D_
// we move tooltip during of "mousemove"_x000D_
_x000D_
.on("mousemove", function() {_x000D_
return tooltip.style("top", (event.pageY - 30) + "px")_x000D_
.style("left", event.pageX + "px");_x000D_
})_x000D_
_x000D_
// we hide our tooltip on "mouseout"_x000D_
_x000D_
.on("mouseout", function() {_x000D_
return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");_x000D_
});

You can pass in the data to be used in the mouseover like this- the mouseover event uses a function with your previously enter
ed data as an argument (and the index as a second argument) so you don't need to use enter()
a second time.
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function(d,i) {
d3.select(this).append("text")
.text( d.x)
.attr("x", x(d.x))
.attr("y", y(d.y));
});
There is an awesome library for doing that that I recently discovered. It's simple to use and the result is quite neat: d3-tip.
You can see an example here:
Basically, all you have to do is to download(index.js), include the script:
<script src="index.js"></script>
and then follow the instructions from here (same link as example)
But for your code, it would be something like:
define the method:
var tip = d3.tip()
.attr('class', 'd3-tip')
.offset([-10, 0])
.html(function(d) {
return "<strong>Frequency:</strong> <span style='color:red'>" + d.frequency + "</span>";
})
create your svg (as you already do)
var svg = ...
call the method:
svg.call(tip);
add tip to your object:
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
...
.on('mouseover', tip.show)
.on('mouseout', tip.hide)
Don't forget to add the CSS:
<style>
.d3-tip {
line-height: 1;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 12px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
color: #fff;
border-radius: 2px;
}
/* Creates a small triangle extender for the tooltip */
.d3-tip:after {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline;
font-size: 10px;
width: 100%;
line-height: 1;
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
content: "\25BC";
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
}
/* Style northward tooltips differently */
.d3-tip.n:after {
margin: -1px 0 0 0;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
</style>
A really good way to make a tooltip is described here: Simple D3 tooltip example
You have to append a div
var tooltip = d3.select("body")
.append("div")
.style("position", "absolute")
.style("z-index", "10")
.style("visibility", "hidden")
.text("a simple tooltip");
Then you can just toggle it using
.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){return tooltip.style("top",
(d3.event.pageY-10)+"px").style("left",(d3.event.pageX+10)+"px");})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});
d3.event.pageX
/ d3.event.pageY
is the current mouse coordinate.
If you want to change the text you can use tooltip.text("my tooltip text");
