How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

spirto — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 21:52:44 GMT

Hello I am using HTML5 destination so I can use SVG for all my output graphics. However regardless if I try to copy it or save the graphic, it always includes the that mouse-over text "Box Plot...".

How do I go about turning off this text?

Thank you

Can you share the code including the ODS HTML5 statement used to create the output?

If this is the output from one of the statistical procedures we may have to modify the graph template the procedure uses.

@ballardw You are correct. This is output from the NPAR1WAY procedure. This is the code I am using

proc npar1way data=mydata wilcoxon;
   class mygrp;
   var X;
run;

I guess you need to change the template of PROC NPAR1WAY.

Or just overwrite the SVG file to eliminate mouse-over text, since SVG file is just a simple text file.



ods listing gpath='c:\temp' ;
ods graphics/ reset=all imagename='x' imagefmt=svg;

proc npar1way data=sashelp.class wilcoxon ;
   class sex;
   var weight;
run;


data _null_;
infile "c:\temp\x1.svg";
file  "c:\temp\want.svg";
input;
if _infile_=:'<desc' then delete;
put _infile_;
run;

Can you explain more about what you see? Is the text permanently there, or does it appear only when you put a mouse pointer into the window?

If the text "pops up" when your mouse enters the window, I suspect the issue is that you have the IMAGEMAP=ON option set on the ODS GRAPHICS statement. The IMAGEMAP=ON option displays "tooltips" or "hover text" in a graph.

To see the state of your ODS GRAPHICS options, run the following statement:

ods graphics / show;

Now look in the log. Among the options, I suspect you will see ON next to the IMAGEMAP option:

Output format: STATIC
By line: NOBYLINE
Antialias: ON
Border: ON
Image map: ON
Scale: ON

To turn off the option, submit the following at the top of your program (and make sure it isn't being set elsewhere):

ods graphics / imagemap=off;

Now resubmit your PROC statement and let us know if that fixes the problem.

it only shows up with mouse-over. turning imagemap off does not fix the issue. I've tried several other things to no avail such as device=SVGnotip but the tooltip is very persistent.

I found that right-clicking the graph and inspecting it reveals the information below. Based on this code, any other ideas how to disable the tooltips with html5 using svg?

function SVG_IDX_HideTooltip( evt )
{
SVG_IDX_tiptspan.firstChild.nodeValue = null;
SVG_IDX_singleTip.setAttributeNS(null, 'visibility', 'hidden');
}
function SVG_IDX_ShowTooltip( evt )
{
SVG_IDX_GetTrueCoords( evt );
var targetElement = evt.target;
var tspanCount = targetElement.getElementsByTagName('desc').length;
if (tspanCount == 1) {
var targetTspan = targetElement.getElementsByTagName('desc').item(0);
if ( targetTspan) {
if (targetTspan.firstChild != null)
SVG_IDX_tiptspan.firstChild.nodeValue = targetTspan.firstChild.nodeValue; }
}
if ( '' != SVG_IDX_tiptspan.firstChild.nodeValue )
{
var outline = SVG_IDX_singleText.getBBox();
SVG_IDX_singleBox.setAttributeNS(null, 'transform', 'scale(' + SVG_IDX_attrScale + ',' + SVG_IDX_attrScale + ')' );
SVG_IDX_singleText.setAttributeNS(null, 'transform', 'scale(' + SVG_IDX_attrScale + ',' + SVG_IDX_attrScale + ')' );
SVG_IDX_singleTip.setAttributeNS(null, 'visibility', 'visible');
if (evt.clientX + ((outline.width + 8)/0.8) * SVG_IDX_attrScale > SVG_IDX_rightEdge) {
var xPos = SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.x - parseInt((outline.width + 8)*SVG_IDX_attrScale);
if (xPos < 0)
xPos = 0;
}
else
var xPos = SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.x;
if (SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.y < 16) {
var yPos = SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.y + ((outline.height + 16)/0.8)*SVG_IDX_attrScale;
if (yPos > windowHeight)
yPos = SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.y - parseInt((outline.height + 8)*SVG_IDX_attrScale);
}
else
var yPos = SVG_IDX_TrueCoords.y - parseInt((outline.height + 8)*SVG_IDX_attrScale);
if (Number(outline.width == 0))
SVG_IDX_singleBox.setAttributeNS(null, 'width', outline.width);
else
SVG_IDX_singleBox.setAttributeNS(null, 'width', outline.width + 8);
SVG_IDX_singleBox.setAttributeNS(null, 'height', outline.height + 8);
SVG_IDX_singleTip.setAttributeNS(null, 'transform', 'translate(' + xPos + ',' + yPos + ')');
}
}

Interesting. Please run the following code and tell me whether you see the mouse-over text. Also use the Insert Code icon (looks like </>) to insert the complete log.

ods graphics / imagemap=off outputfmt=svg;

proc npar1way data=sashelp.cars wilcoxon ;
class Origin;
var weight;
run;

ods graphics / show;

Strange. I don't understand how that is possible. Calling @DanH_sas .

I don't have any more ideas, but out of curiosity, how are you submitting this code? SAS Studio? Enterprise Guide? And what version of SAS are you running?

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

d0gord02 — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 20:50:09 GMT

Pretty standard SAS 9.4 desktop software setup. My colleague (and OP) @spirto is having the same issue as I am.

I should note that we changed the default html version from html4 to html5 using the registry editor. not sure if that has something to do with it.

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

Tom — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 21:10:52 GMT

That code produces the flyover text. In SAS/Studio view of the HTML output it is not visible. But if I open the generated HTML file in Chrome then it is.

I was able to find the file, tkmgr039en.so, in the SASEXE directory that contains that text (and other strings).

 76         data _null_;

Thanks Rick for the help so far! We are running SAS 9.4M7 via the Windowing Environment and ODS HTML5 destination

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

d0gord02 — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 21:33:10 GMT

Is there any way to turn off the flyover / tooltip text or no?

If not, it seems like a big limitation to being able to copy and paste an image from SAS output using html5 w/ svg.

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

spirto — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 14:35:09 GMT

@Rick_SAS @Tom thanks for the insights so far and @d0gord02 for digging into this. @DanH_sas The following code will reproduce the issue

ods html close;
ods html5 path="C:\mypath"(url=none) file="sas.html" options(svg_mode='embed');
proc npar1way data=sashelp.cars wilcoxon;
class origin;
var weight;
run;
ods html5 close;

The popup text is happening when viewing the HTML5 output with the internal browser of the Results Viewer in Windowing Environment. When I right click the image to either "copy" or "save picture as" it also copies the popup text. Interestingly the popup text seems to have a mind of its own in that, at times it will disappear when I right click, at other times it will persist.

Looking at the SVG source code, the popup text is captured in the following line

<desc id="desc_SVG_IDX2">Box Plot of Wilcoxon Scores for Weight Classified by Origin</desc>
<desc>Box Plot of Wilcoxon Scores for Weight Classified by Origin</desc>

As a fallback, by embedding the SVG [via options(svg_mode="embed")] I am able to get at the individual SVG file and use it as needed without the popup text issue but it would be so much easier and faster to just be able to copy the SVG from the Results Viewer.

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

Tom — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 18:25:03 GMT

The Save picture as ... menu item works file to make a file from the image in the internal HTML viewer of SAS Display Manager in SAS 9.4m7.

Why not just use that?

If you want to remove the descriptions from the file that is also not hard as was already shown before. If you use the EMBED option and what to find the name of the file it created you can scrape it from the HTML file.

46   data _null_;
47     infile html;
48     input;
49     if index(_infile_,'embed');
50     put _infile_;
51   run;

NOTE: The infile HTML is:
      Filename=c:\downloads\svg_test.html,
      RECFM=V,LRECL=32767,File Size (bytes)=36259,
      Last Modified=10Aug2024:14:10:42,
      Create Time=10Aug2024:14:10:37

<embed src="WilcoxonBoxPlot3.svg" type="image/svg+xml"/>

You can then make a copy of that file without the description tags.

data _null_;
  infile "c:\downloads\WilcoxonBoxPlot3.svg" ;
  file "c:\downloads\WilcoxonBoxPlot_fixed.svg" ;
  input;
  if _infile_=:'<des' then delete;
  put _infile_;
run;

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

Tom — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 18:36:53 GMT

As suggested before you could just add code to remove the description tags from the file.

For example using your example report:

%let path=c:\downloads;

ods html close;
ods html5 path="&path"(url=none) file="svg_test.html" ;
proc npar1way data=sashelp.cars wilcoxon;
class origin;
var weight;
run;
ods html5 close;

filename html "&path/svg_test.html";
filename copy temp;

data _null_;
  infile html ;
  file copy;
  input;
  if _infile_=:'<des' then delete;
  put _infile_;
run;

data _null_;
  infile copy ;
  file html;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

spirto — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 22:36:20 GMT

@Tom Ah yes you are correct! Thank you for highlighting this. When I use the Save picture as... option it saves the SVG without the pop-op text.

What is perplexing me is that when I try to copy the SVG (from the Results Viewer), and paste it to a word document, it also copies over that pop-up text.

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

DanH_sas — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 20:10:37 GMT

I think the following is happening:

First, the pop-up description text is not coming from the SVG output, per se -- it's coming from a javascript function in the HTML file that reads the description from the SVG output and displays it. When you "save the picture" from the results viewer, you are getting only the SVG output without the javascript functions. However, when you "copy" the inline SVG output, you are probably getting the entire HTML output, including the functions.

I addition to getting the individual SVG files by using embedding, you can also get them by just generating ODS LISTING output and setting OUTPUTFMT=SVG on the ODS GRAPHICS statement.

Re: How to remove ODS HTML5 figure mouse-over text

spirto — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 20:35:51 GMT

@DanH_sas Thanks for the Javascript clue! That led me to determine the root cause of the behavior.

Turns out the pop-up text is driven by two embedded Javascript addEventListener methods (within the SVG code itself) that create and hide the tooltip. Here are the methods below. You can see there is one when you move the mouse into the SVG ('mousemove') and one when you 'mouseout' of the SVG. In return these two methods execute the ShowTooltip and HideTooltip functions when the respective events occur.

SVG_IDX2_SVGRoot.addEventListener('mousemove', SVG_IDX2_ShowTooltip, false);
SVG_IDX2_SVGRoot.addEventListener('mouseout', SVG_IDX2_HideTooltip, false);

To prevent the tooltip from showing up when right clicking to copying the image all one needs to do is add a single line of code to add an additional listener method that listens for the 'contextmenu' event. When you right click to bring up the contextmenu, the method will execute the HideTooltip function and Voilà the pop up disappears.

SVG_IDX2_SVGRoot.addEventListener('contextmenu', SVG_IDX2_HideTooltip, false);

Doing everything this way allows you to have your cake (display the pop-up) and eat it (temporarily hide it when copying) too.

@Rick_SAS @DanH_sas - Curious if this is something we can pass along to the SAS ODS developers. They may be interested in making a HotFix. I have no idea how to contact SAS and make this suggestion.

Lastly thank you to all who took this journey with us. Definitely a rabbit hole!
