Something about my plot is causing the hover labels to overlap. In this plot: https://plot.ly/~tfg250/139
I have quite a few individual traces, all of them are toggled off initially, so you need to click one of the legend groups to see the issue. But when you hover over a location of closely spaced traces, all of the hover labels overlap, obscuring the values in the hover text. The image below shows a sample of what I’m seeing. Is this the intended behavior? I thought they were supposed to stack in a way that allowed all of the labels to be visible?
You can change hovermode (https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-hovermode). I think your current default is hovermode="x" so it shows all the hoverinfo with the same xaxis. You can change it to "closest".
Thanks. Technically, that does solve my overlapping labels, but does so by only showing 1 at a time. I still want to see all of them. like in the image below from the line chart explanation page https://plot.ly/python/line-charts/
Here there are multiple traces with very close data points, but the hover labels are nicely arranged so that they’re all visible. Thats what I’m trying to get.
Could you open a bug report in the plotly.js project at https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues ? Just include a small example (in Python is fine) that is as simple as you can make it while still reproducing the overlap issue.
