  defaultArrowOrientation

Default orientation of the tooltip’s arrow. The default value is NChartTooltipArrowOrientationBottom.

Discussion


The default arrow orientation is the orientation tooltip uses if it’s far from plot area borders. If it’s close to border and alwaysInPlotArea is set to YES, it’s arrow orientation is automatically changed to keep tooltip inside the plot area.
