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_scopewithhighlightandfademodes on the chart or per series. - Enable
axis_highlightfor 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.
