Highcharts - How to hide series name and Y value in tooltip










2














Hovering over a series in Highchart graph displays a popup with series name and Y value, in the example: 'Tokyo 9.5ºC'. I would like to display my own, custom text on hover - I can do that by modifying each point's name. At the same time I would like to hide the default series name and Y value. I've searched the doc but haven't found anything suitable. Any ideas how to approach this?

          You'll have to specify a tooltip formatter yourself (see documentation):



          tooltip: 
          formatter: function()
          return 'The value for <b>'+ this.x +
          '</b> is <b>'+ this.y +'</b>';

          ,


          there you can just show the x-values if you like or your custom text.

          Hope that helps.

          I have modified the DEMO and created a new DEMO here



          To customize the text displayed in the tooltip, you should use it like:



          Highcharts.chart('container', 

          title:
          text: 'Solar Employment Growth by Sector, 2010-2016'
          ,

          subtitle:
          text: 'Source: thesolarfoundation.com'
          ,
          ........
          .....
          ....

          tooltip:
          formatter: function()
          return '<strong>X value: </strong>'+ this.x;

          ,
          );

            if you want to format the second line of the tool tip, but leave the x-axis label name alone you can use point format instead of formatter.



            tooltip: 
            pointFormat: 'The value is point.y'
            ,
