A heat map chart with the labels for the data plots configured looks like this:
Given below is a brief description of the attributes used to configure labels:
Attribute name | Description |

Configuring Tool-tips
By default, a heat map chart configures the tool-tip by including the values assigned to the value
, displayValue
, trLabel
, tlLabel
, brLabel
, blLabel
, tlType
, trType
, blType
, and brType
attributes.
FusionCharts Suite XT allows you to customize the information displayed in the tool-tip.
A heat map chart rendered with customized tool-tip text looks like this:
Given below is a brief description of the attribute used to customize a tool-tip:
Attribute name | Description |
---|---|

It is used to specify the custom text that will be displayed in the tool-tip. |
The data structure needed to customize the tool-tip text looks like this:
