How can I stop the hover event on a series in Highcharts from triggering a hover event on the nearest point (marker)?

When hovering over the series line on a date-time chart, the default behavior is to trigger the hover event on the nearest point of the series.

However, I only want to trigger the hover event on the markers (points), not the series itself.

If I use stopPropagation on the series hover event, the point hover event is not triggered when directly hovering over a point.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Setting 

plotOptions.series.stickyTracking = false
or tooltip.snap = 0 did not resolve the issue.

Answer №1

To easily achieve this, simply adjust the series type to scatter and specify a value for lineWidth. Additionally, disable stickyTracking and set tooltip.snap to a small value, like 1.

For more information, check out the API Reference:
