java - How to show information of each task in Gantt chart

Question

i am using Jfreechart to write a projet of analysing log file, i have a problem of overvide generateToolTip ,what i want to do is when the user move his mouse to a point of a bar, then the "tip" will be show the information of this block(a subtask), i need to show the discription of each subTask.

i put my exemple here, i just can show the description of the last subtask .

please give me some help if you can. thanks

As invoked, the factory sets a IntervalCategoryToolTipGenerator, as shown here. You can customize the generator to see if the other MessageFormat values are helpful, as shown here for StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator, or you can create a new generator.

Addendum: Here's an example of accessing the Gantt chart's TaskSeriesCollection dataset in the generator. For individual subtasks, you can track the index as shown here.
