Highcharts 12.2 introduces a declarative way to control tooltip placement, eliminating the need for manual JavaScript adjustments.
Highcharts is a JavaScript charting framework that allows web developers and data analysts to generate dynamic, visually appealing charts and graphs for websites and web applications. It can display a variety of chart types, including line, spline, area, column, bar, pie, scatter, and many more. Highcharts is well-known for its ease of use, rich documentation, and ability to handle huge datasets efficiently. Features include responsive design, accessibility support, and cross-browser compatibility. Its customization capabilities allow users to create bespoke data visualizations that increase engagement and provide insightful data presentations.
The Highcharts v12.2.0 release introduces a new Tooltip Positioning capability that lets you control tooltip placement directly through configuration, without writing any custom JavaScript. With the new tooltip.fixed and tooltip.position options, you can easily set fixed positions for tooltips and define exactly where they should appear on the chart. This enhancement simplifies layout management, reduces implementation time, and ensures a cleaner, more consistent user experience across your data visualizations.
