Displaying Flags on Chart Objects Breaks Tooltip

[Sean Cowan]

Hi,

I have created a Chart object and added a flag series to the chart via the chart.setOption() method. This works well, except that I want to be able to display the series on the x-axis rather than on another series id.

The only way that I can see how to do this, is to set the y-value to be null. This does force the series to be painted on the x-axis but it breaks the tool tip. I suspect the problem is that in the Javascript, you don't have to specifiy a y-value but in the GWT wrapper you do, and specifying null breaks the GWT Wrapper.

Any Ideas of how to fix this problem? Code snippets below:-

this.multiplePayments = chart.createSeries();
this.multiplePayments.setOption("type", "flags");
this.multiplePayments.setOption("shape", "squarepin");
this.multiplePayments.setOption("width", 16);
this.multiplePayments.setName("Multiple Payments");
this.multiplePayments.setOption("showInLegend", false);
chart.addSeries(multiplePayments);

Point p = new Point(key.getTime(), null);
p.setOption("text", "tool tip");
multiplePayments.addPoint(p);

// this code breaks the tool tip on the flag

Haven't had a chance to try this case myself, but I can't think of reason off the top of my head why GWT Highcharts would be doing anything to interfere with the tooltip in this case. So, you may have found a bug in the core highcharts.js library. Have you tried this case in jsfiddle or somewhere directly in raw Javascript?
