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();
}
}
}
},
...
});
