Adding Tooltips to the Graph

You can add a tooltip to each of the graph's vertices. A tooltip is a small text window that pops up when you hover the mouse over a vertex in the Graph Pane. Tooltips can interactively provide detailed vertex information without cluttering the graph with long vertex labels.

You cannot add tooltips to the graph's edges.

To add a tooltip to a vertex:
  1. Select the Vertices worksheet.
  2. If the worksheet's Labels column group is not visible, show the column group.
  3. Fill in one or more cells in the Tooltip column.
To insert a line break in a vertex's tooltip:
  1. Enter Alt+Enter in the vertex's Tooltip cell.
To show a vertex's tooltip in the Graph Pane:
  1. Show the graph.
  2. Hover the mouse over the vertex. The tooltip will pop up after a short period.
