Hints – apply hints to data values

You can use this to set a collection of hints to be shown in the browser status-bar when the mouse is over any data-point (for charts rendered as VML or mapped images).

ch.Set 'hints' 'One' 'Two' 'Three'

A typical use would be for a scatter-plot where extra information about each data point could be shown to the user. To show hints on multiple data series, pass an array of values which match exactly the structure of the data.

ch.Set 'Hints' (2 3½'One' 'Two' 'Three' 'Four' 'Five' 'Six')

You must set hints for all the data-points if you use this property – if you only want to hint a small selection of points consider calling ch.Hint instead, as this can be called repeatedly to set hints on individual points.
