I have an issue I can't seem to track down. I am using Flot to graph some data, super easy. I want to add the hover effect you see here: Flot Example
Unfortunately, under no circumstance can I get the 'plothover' event to fire. This is a brief snippet from the code:
$.plot($chartArea, eventData, eventOptions);
$chartArea.bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
console.log('hovering!');
});
Is there something you need to set in the options object to enable this behavior? Thanks!
Like an idiot, I forgot to include the grid option. Check out the object:
eventOptions = {
points: {
show: true
},
lines: {
show: true
},
grid: { hoverable: true, clickable: true },
xaxis: {
min:earliestMessage.timestamp,
max:currentTime,
mode:"time",
ticks:10
}
};
notice the grid parameter. That's what was missing. Duh!
:)
I'm not sure what $chartArea is in your code, but lets try something like this:
var chartArea = $("#placeholder"); // your chart div
$.plot(chartArea, eventData, eventOptions);
$(chartArea).bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
console.log('hovering!');
});
