Im trying to simply hide the tooltips from ever showing. Ive tried to do this with the following but the tooltip still shows for a second…

```
elem.on('plotly_hover',function(data){
  	console.log('plotly hover');
  	Plotly.Fx.unhover(elem);
  });

```

It doesnt look like plotly\_beforehover is ever fired for a pie chart for whatever reason.

An easier way would be to set `layout.hovermode: false`

Yes. In this case, set `hoverinfo: 'none'` in the corresponding trace object.
