Charts Highlighting

Highlighting gives immediate visual feedback — crosshairs along axes, emphasis on the hovered series or point, and optional fading of everything else.

Axis highlighting draws a crosshair or category band where the pointer lands. Series highlighting dims everything except the hovered point or series — configure both per series, or drive selection from outside to link charts together.

  • Dense multi-series plots where hover must isolate one mark or category.
  • Dashboards that sync highlight across multiple charts via controlled highlighted_item.
  • Axis exploration with band crosshairs and axis-triggered tooltips.
  • Set highlight_scope with highlight and fade modes on the chart or per series.
  • Enable axis_highlight for band or line crosshairs on cartesian charts.
  • Pair with tooltip=TooltipConfig::axis() when the crosshair should list all series at x.
Global fade and axis crosshair

Hover a bar to fade siblings; the axis band follows the pointer. Combines item highlight, global fade, axis band, and axis tooltip — the common interactive dashboard pattern.
