Hi

1 How can the tooltips be shown at a fixed position, not at the position of the cursor ?  
2 How to show crossshairs with indicator at the position of the cursor ? (spikemode=“across” spike lines can show a crossshairs but missing indicator)

 ![WeChatWorkScreenshot_b3c7b4ee-c7a3-4aee-ba45-eda4768a046d](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/2X/6/6aa164e8da2420bfec44d636668f3f2d38220710.png)

Can you please help on this.  
Thanks !

It seems to me that this should be possible via either of the following:

1. Using Plotly Python + Plotly.js as per [Streamlit components - Scatterplot with selection using Plotly.js - DEV Community](https://dev.to/andfanilo/streamlit-components-scatterplot-with-selection-using-plotly-js-3d7n) and [How to customize Plotly Tooltip](https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-customize-plotly-tooltip/332).
2. Using Dash as per [How to customize the tooltip? - #4 by chriddyp](https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-customize-the-tooltip/9053/4).
