Usage

Include the plugin's xml file:

<include url="plugins/tooltip.xml" />

Then, on each layer on which you wish to display a tooltip add a "tooltip" style, and a tooltip attribute containing the text of the toolip. For example:

<layer name="some_layer"
       style="tooltip"
       tooltip="Tooltip text"
       tooltip_style="another_tooltip_style"
       tooltip_oy="2"
       ...  
       />

Optionally you can add the attributes tooltip_style and/or tooltip_oy to override the global tooltip settings (see Settings below) on a per layer basis.

Usage on hotspots / layers that define an onloaded event

The tooltip style that you add to a layer just contains an onloaded event, that calls an action to setup the tooltip there.

When using on hotspots, for example, you probably want to get the tooltip text dinamically from the linked scene title. For that we need to use the onloaded event too, and as one onloaded definition would override the other, we'll need to call the setup action manually on the defined hotspot's onloaded event.

<hotspot name="hotspot_x"
         style="hotspot"
         linkedscene="scene_x"
         onloaded="copy(tooltip, scene[get(linkedscene)].title);
                   setup_tooltip(get(name));"
         ...
         />

Check out the example's XML source at the bottom of the page for more complete examples.

Settings

These are all the possible settings and their default values.

<settings name="tooltip"
          style="default_tooltip_style"
          oy="0"
          visible="true"
          />

  • style
    The name of the style tag to customize the appearance of the tooltip. See the Styling section.
  • oy
    Allows you to adjust the vertical position of the tooltip relative to the layer. See layer[...].oy.

       font_family="sans-serif"
       html5_font_family=""
       font_size="12"
