Question

Requirement: i need to display toolTip(No data available) and image on time series chart which have null data ie; Image 2 on gray color area .
Problem:I am not able to get it.
Image With some data ie; series1.addOrUpdate(absoluteMSecond, data[i]);

Image with null data ie; series1.addOrUpdate(absoluteMSecond, null);

You can specify the desired image to the plot's setBackgroundImage() method, mentioned here and here .

The implementation of getToolTipText() in ChartPanel will return null if the dataset is empty, but you can override the method to return a suitable alternative string.
