Developing with the SDK > Using and Adding Renderers > Predefined Renderers > The InfoBalloon Renderer

The InfoBalloon renderer displays information about a node or a link when the user clicks in it. The information is displayed in a customizable popup window called a balloon.

The contents of the balloon are specified through strings that have the following format:

"line1,First Title: ,prop1;line2,Second Title: ,prop2;..."

where prop1, prop2, and so on are the names of the object's properties for which values are to be displayed.
