Tooltip with values while using SpiderWebPlot

I'm using SpiderWebPlot from JFreeChart in order to generate a chart. But what I want to have, is tooltips with values. I've found that I should set StandardCategoryTooltipGenerator to the plot, but that doesn't seem to be the point. Here is my sample code:

private JFreeChart prepareChart() {
    Random rnd = new java.util.Random();
    DefaultCategoryDataset dataSet = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
    String rowKey = "Osobnik";
    dataSet.addValue(rnd.nextInt(20), rowKey, "BLUFF");
    dataSet.addValue(rnd.nextInt(20), rowKey, "CALL");
    dataSet.addValue(rnd.nextInt(20), rowKey, "CHECK");
    dataSet.addValue(rnd.nextInt(20), rowKey, "FOLD");
    dataSet.addValue(rnd.nextInt(20), rowKey, "RAISE");

    SpiderWebPlot plot = new SpiderWebPlot(dataSet);
    // CategoryToolTipGenerator generator = new
    // StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator();
    // generator.generateToolTip(dataSet, 0, 1);
    plot.setToolTipGenerator(new StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator());
    plot.setStartAngle(54D);
    plot.setInteriorGap(0.40000000000000002D);
    plot.setToolTipGenerator(new StandardCategoryToolTipGenerator());
    JFreeChart chart = new JFreeChart(plot);

    return chart;
}

Here is the example of what I'm trying to accomplish. enter image description here enter image description here

ChartPanel "registers with the chart to receive notification of changes to any component of the chart." I suspect you have neglected to construct a ChartPanel; given a static version of prepareChart(), the following main() works for me. See also Initial Threads.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            JFrame f = new JFrame("Spider Web Plot");
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.add(new ChartPanel(prepareChart()));
            f.pack();
            f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            f.setVisible(true);
        }
    });
}

Addendum: Based on the posted screenshots, you'll need a custom CategoryItemLabelGenerator, which can be set using setLabelGenerator(). It will be called from drawLabel(), shown here. For example,

plot.setLabelGenerator(new StandardCategoryItemLabelGenerator() {

    @Override
    public String generateColumnLabel(CategoryDataset dataset, int col) {
        return dataset.getColumnKey(col) + " " + dataset.getValue(0, col);
    }
});
