tooltips

Is it possible to add custom tooltips to telemetry point?

Hi @alexhoffenreich !

Possibly. I want to make sure I understand properly, though. What do you mean by tooltips? Could you provide an image?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you hold down the ctrl key and hover over certain elements such as tree items, plot legend items, object names, etc. it displays a tooltip with the path to the object:

Screen.Recording.2024-03-07.at.2.31.29.PM.mov

Exactly like that, but instead of the path, can it display something else, like the notes ?
I mean, the "notes" attribute of the telemetry point node in the dictionary json.

@alexhoffenreich Currently for tree items we show the object path, as you saw above. This is setup here: https://github.com/nasa/openmct/blob/master/src/ui/components/ObjectLabel.vue#L164-L167

The only way to do the notes instead, would be to modify that code like so:

showToolTip() {
      const { BELOW } = this.openmct.tooltips.TOOLTIP_LOCATIONS;
      if (this.domainObject.notes) {
        this.buildToolTip(this.domainObject.notes, BELOW, 'objectLabel');
      }
    }

Which would give you:

We don't currently have a way to customize that, but if you're ok modifying the code, that's one way to do it. Tool times aren't very customizable at this point.
