Flot Stacked Bar Chart and displaying bar values on mouse over

Question

I\'m trying to understand the tooltip functionality of Flot but not really getting my head around it!

I am trying to achieve a tooltip that displays the label and value

Answer 1

This is the same as Thomas above, except that I shifted the tooltip up to prevent it blocking the hover action.

var previousPoint = [0,0,0];
$("#regionsChart").bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
    if (item) {
        if (previousPoint[0] != item.datapoint[0]
            || previousPoint[1] != item.datapoint[1]
            || previousPoint[2] != item.datapoint[2]
        ) {
            previousPoint = item.datapoint;

            $("#tooltip").remove();
            var x = item.datapoint[0],
                y = item.datapoint[1] - item.datapoint[2];

            showTooltip(item.pageX, item.pageY - 35, item.series.label + " " + y.toFixed(0) );
        }
    }
    else {
        $("#tooltip").remove();
        previousPoint = [0,0,0];
    }
});
