Shared Tooltip

A shared tooltip is a single tooltip that highlights all data values for a single X value in the chart.

In a chart containing mixed chart types, you often require displaying multiple Y values for a common X value through a single tooltip. In such cases, FlexChart tooltips can be used as shared tooltips by setting the Content property accordingly.

The following image displays a shared tooltip showing Y values for all series at a single X value.

The code compares and displays data of number of daily website visitors, unique visitors, and link clicks in a specific week. The code shows how to set the Content property to create a shared tooltip.
