Add tooltips and background images/borders to the Gauges. The current way of setting the background image using CSS works but is somewhat complex. Setting a border on the gauge does not surround the shape of the gauge, but rather results in a square. Allow a border around the gauge's physical shape (for example, in a half circle radial gauge, the border is around the half circle), or some nicer built-in backgrounds/borders.
This is a very much needed feature in the Gauge. Gauge is not at all useful without appropriate tooltips.
Also need multiple pointers in the linear gauge to mark several points of interest along the gauge.
The ability for tooltips is critical for our application. We are being forced to use another 3rd party library for a subset of our charts because of this missing feature.
+1 for this, and also be able to add multiple markers to gauge charts.
Thanks for the feedback, we will peg the interest in those features.
+1 on this. I have a radial gauge with three sections (red, yellow, green). I'd like a tooltip on those color lines to tell the user what's up ("50% to 75% of goal") etc. I'd like a tooltip on the pointer too. In my case, I've got text under the gauge with a negative top margin to shift it up into the gauge area. It might be something like "Total Sales:<br />$123,456". But the tooltip could say "Total Sales: $123,456.78<br />90% of goal ($150,000)"
Actually, the more I use it, the more I realize the gauges are lacking a lot of the same features that the other graphs/charts have, such as series click events. It is also missing the title property. Anything to bring them more in line with the standard other widgets in terms of functionality would be appreciated.
