Is there a way to position the hover labels on the Y axis instead on the time series themselves? A simple example would be like the one that is shown on the X axis when we move across on the line charts?
Hi @siskos32,
I think what you’re looking for is layout.hovermode='y'
.
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.plotly as py
import numpy as np
trace1 = go.Scatter(
y = np.random.randn(500),
mode='markers',
)
data = [trace1]
layout=dict(hovermode='y')
fig = go.FigureWidget(data, layout)
fig
Hope that helps!

@jmmease that is great, however now the one on the X-axis disappears. Is there a way to keep both X and Y and remove the blue labels showing on the markers? Thanks for your help
Hi @siskos32,
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a way to show a hover label on both axes simultaneously. You could hide the blue tooltip here by setting hoverinfo='y'
on the trace, but then the x-info isn’t displayed anywhere.
