I need to show the (x,y) of every point on the trace…

I know plotly do this for data points… But how to get the interpolated points?

Thanks in Advance…

There’s no easy way to achieve this at the moment. `plotly_hover` is only triggered over the data points.

Any plans to include this in next revisions?

Also plotly\_click on the graph also fires only on data points right ?
