Hi,  
i cant find any examples of using the JSON input n visualization,

i want - for example, when creating a tag cloud , to hover over the tag results and get more info,  
or when clicking on a tag drill down to more information , or another visualization.

how can i do that ?

if you have a nice informative video tutorial to link me too, that can be great too.  
thanks.

David.

hi @David_Gidony,  
You have 2 options.

1. Develop a custom plugin
2. Use Vega plugin and load their visualizations on top of it.. I guess you neeed something like that
