We would like to use your charting solution but would like to know if it is possible to customize the tooltip that is displayed when the user hovers over a point in the chart.  Can that tooltip contain text other than just the value and can that text change from one point to another?

Also, can you create clustered AND stacked bar charts simultaneously?  So something like this http://demos.kendoui.com/dataviz/bar-charts/column.html but have each bar be a stacked bar chart?

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

It is possible to customize the tooltip via templates. In this demo you can see an example that shows how to define a tooltip with custom text. The template could be individual for each column or one for the whole chart. Please check the corresponding documentation, there you will find more detailed information about configuration options.

Concerning your second question, I'm afraid to say that creating clustered and stacked bar charts simultaneously is not currently supported.

Do you see a clustered and stacked bar chart begin supported in a future release.  If yes, do you have any idea when that release could be?

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

Such feature is already in our ToDo list for one of the future releases. For the time being however, I cannot say exactly when it will be available.

Glad to hear it is in the ToDo list and I completely understand that you can't give an exact date for such a feature.  That being said, is that feature in the plans for a relatively soon release or is it a feature that is in the backlog and will be implemented when some developer has nothing else to do... maybe in three years?  I know you may not be able to give specifics but it would be helpful to know if this feature is one that will be worked on in the near future or if it is something that in reality may never occur.

Thank you for you time.

Hello Nick,

This type of chart is a relatively popular feature request, so it will be implemented in the future. You can check the official roadmap to stay informed when it will be scheduled and released.

All the best,
