Tooltips are labels that appear when users hover over data points (nodes) on your chart. They can display any combination of values, text, and/or tokens. In addition to standard tooltips, ZingChart offers the functionality to create sticky tooltips, fixed tooltips, and HTML tooltips. Refer to the Tooltips Tutorial for more information.
