Gets or sets the tooltip content.

The tooltip content can be specified as a string or as a function that takes a HitTestInfo object as a parameter.

When the tooltip content is a string, it may contain any of the following parameters:

• propertyName: Any property of the data object represented by the point.
• seriesName: Name of the series that contains the data point (FlexChart only).
• pointIndex: Index of the data point.
• value: Value of the data point (y-value for FlexChart, item value for FlexPie).
• x: x-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
• y: y-value of the data point (FlexChart only).
• name: Name of the data point (x-value for FlexChart or legend entry for FlexPie).

Parameters must be enclosed in single curly brackets. For example:

// 'country' and 'sales' are properties of the data object.
  chart.tooltip.content = '{country}, sales:{sales}';

The next example shows how to set the tooltip content using a function.

// Set the tooltip content
  chart.tooltip.content = function (ht) {
    return ht.name + ":" + ht.value.toFixed();
  }
