4 mins read

This article explains how to display synchronized trackball tooltip between multiple charts in React Chart component.

Refer below steps to create synchronized trackball tooltip for multiple charts.

Create a two react charts with line series and place both the charts inside same div tag and trigger mousemove event for div element.

To enable the trackball tooltip set crosshair property as true.

App.tsx

 
import './index.css';
import * as React from 'react';
import { ChartComponent, SeriesCollectionDirective, SeriesDirective, Inject, Legend,
  Tooltip, LineSeries, DateTime, Crosshair } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';
import { john, andrew, thomas } from './trackball-data';
 
const SAMPLE_CSS = `
    .control-fluid {
  padding: 0px !important;
    }`;
export class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
 
  chartInstance1: ChartComponent | null | undefined;
  chartInstance2: ChartComponent | null | undefined;
 
  render() {
    return (<div className='control-pane'>
      <div className='control-section' onMouseMove={(e) => this.onMouseMove(e)} >
        <ChartComponent id='chart1'
          ref={chart => this.chartInstance1 = chart}
          primaryXAxis={{
            minimum: new Date(2000, 1, 1), maximum: new Date(2006, 2, 11),
            valueType: 'DateTime', skeleton: 'y', lineStyle: { width: 0 },
            majorGridLines: { width: 0 }, edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift'
          }} 
          chartArea={{ border: { width: 0 } }}
          primaryYAxis={{
            title: 'Revenue', labelFormat: '{value}M', majorTickLines: { width: 0 },
            minimum: 10, maximum: 80, lineStyle: { width: 0 },
          }} 
          title='Average Sales per Person' tooltip={{ enable: true, shared: true }} 
          crosshair={{ enable: true, lineType: 'Vertical' }}>
          <Inject services={[LineSeries, DateTime, Tooltip, Crosshair, Legend]} />
          <SeriesCollectionDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={john} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='John' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={andrew} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Andrew' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={thomas} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Thomas' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
          </SeriesCollectionDirective>
        </ChartComponent>
 
        <ChartComponent id='chart2'
          ref={chart1 => this.chartInstance2 = chart1}
          primaryXAxis={{
            minimum: new Date(2000, 1, 1), maximum: new Date(2006, 2, 11),
            valueType: 'DateTime', skeleton: 'y', lineStyle: { width: 0 },
            majorGridLines: { width: 0 }, edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift'
           }} 
          chartArea={{ border: { width: 0 } }}
          primaryYAxis={{
            title: 'Revenue', labelFormat: '{value}M', majorTickLines: { width: 0 },
            minimum: 10, maximum: 80, lineStyle: { width: 0 },
          }} 
          title='Average Sales per Person' tooltip={{ enable: true, shared: true }} 
          crosshair={{ enable: true, lineType: 'Vertical' }}>
          <Inject services={[LineSeries, DateTime, Tooltip, Crosshair, Legend]} />
          <SeriesCollectionDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={john} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='John' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={andrew} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Andrew' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
            <SeriesDirective dataSource={thomas} xName='x' yName='y' width={2} name='Thomas' type='Line' marker={{ visible: true }}>
            </SeriesDirective>
          </SeriesCollectionDirective>
       </ChartComponent>
      </div>
    </div>);
  } 

 

In the mouse move event, getBoundingClientRect() method of chart returns DOM Rect Object with properties: left, top, right, bottom, x, y, width, height. Using the details mousemove event is initiated for each chart to show track ball tooltip in both charts at the same time.

 
  public container1Bounds: any;
  public container2Bounds: any;
  public onMouseMove(args: any): void {
    if (args.target.id.indexOf('ChartAreaBorder') > -1) {
      let chart: any = document.getElementById('chart1');
      this.container1Bounds = chart.getBoundingClientRect();
      this.mousemoveEvent(
        chart,
        args.pageX,
        this.container1Bounds.y + (this.container1Bounds.height / 2),
        args.pageX,
        this.container1Bounds.y + (this.container1Bounds.height / 2)
      ); 
      let chart2: any = document.getElementById('chart2'); 
      this.container2Bounds = chart2.getBoundingClientRect();
      this.mousemoveEvent(
        chart2,
        args.pageX,
        this.container2Bounds.y + (this.container2Bounds.height / 2),
        args.pageX,
        this.container2Bounds.y + (this.container2Bounds.height / 2)
      );
    }
  };
  public mousemoveEvent(element: any, sx: any, sy: any, cx: any, cy: any) {
    let mouse = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
    mouse.initMouseEvent(
      'mousemove',
      true,
      false,
      window,
      1,
      sx,
      sy,
      cx,
      cy,
      false,
      false,
      false,
      false,
      0,
      null 
    );
 
    element.dispatchEvent(mouse);
  }
}
