I just started using Highcharts and I need to capture an event when the user hovers over a slice of the pie and also to get contextual information about that slice. Is there an event for that? I haven’t been able to find one in the documentation.
Answer
plotOptions.series
allows events.mouseOver
and events.mouseOut
handlers to be added, a la:
$('#container').highcharts({ ... plotOptions: { series: { point: { events: { mouseOver: function () { $reporting.html('x: ' + this.x + ', y: ' + this.y); } } }, events: { mouseOut: function () { $reporting.empty(); } } } }, ... });
