Python visual in a tooltip shows as blank

Hi

I have a fairly simple question - is it possible to create a tooltip page with a python visual on it? It doesn't seem to work for me. Testing other visuals on the same tooltip page works fine, but for the python visual it just remains blank when used as a tooltip. Is this a known limitation?

Need Help

      lbendlin thanks for the reply. At this point, I'm pretty sure it's a current limitation. I've made a simple python chart that plots a line from (0,0) to (1,1) not using any actual data from my report. I have thrown a measure in the visual field well since it needs one to plot anything. It's a simple SELECTEDVALUE measure. When I look at the tooltip page itself (as in not via a tooltip from another report page), the python plot works, even though I have no value for the SELECTEDVALUE measure. (Python plot on the left, card visual with the same SELECTEDVALUE measure on the right)

      When I look at the tooltip from another report page (using actual tooltip behavior), the plot doesn't draw anything, even though the SELECTEDVALUE measure does have a value.

      If it matters, my python code is

      import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Define the x and y coordinates of the line endpoints
x_values = [0, 1]
y_values = [0, 1]

# Plot the line
plt.plot(x_values, y_values)

# Display the plot
plt.show()
