Styling the tooltips


Tooltips in Highcharts are enabled by the boolean option tooltip.enabled, which is true by default. Their content formats are flexible, which can be defined via a callback handler or in HTML style.

The crosshairs configuration can take either a Boolean value to activate the feature or an object style for the crosshair line style. The following is the code snippet to set up crosshairs with an array of x- and y-axis configurations for the gray color and dash line styles.

            tooltip : {
                crosshairs: [{
                     color: '#5D5D5D',
                     dashStyle: 'dash',
                     width: 2
                }, {
                     color: '#5D5D5D',
                     dashStyle: 'dash',
                     width: 2
