Hi ray,

It depends on the programming technology you are using. For example, the "tooltips" for a
web page can be different from the "tooltips" in a Java SWING application.

If you are writing a web application and referring to the tooltips in a web page, according to
HTML standard, there is no mechanism to control the appearance of the standard tooltip. It
is determined by the browser, and different browsers can display the tooltips differently.

For web pages, instead of using the standard tooltop, some people will use Javascript/HTML
to pop up a box and use that box as a tooltip. There are also a lot of third party tooltip
implementations available, which you can download from the Internet and use them with
ChartDirector. Basically, instead of using "title='xxx'" for the tooltip, you can modify the
attributes according to the requirement of the tooltip implementation you are using.
