Adds xy.tooltip(mode="x") (and mode="y"): a shared-axis tooltip in the model Recharts uses by default and Plotly calls hovermode="x unified".

Behavior

  • The pointer only has to be inside the plot. Its coordinate along the band axis picks the data; the perpendicular coordinate is ignored, so the whole plot height (width) is the hit target.
  • Every eligible series snaps to its point nearest along the band axis; the closest to the pointer sets the band, and every series whose snapped point projects to the same coordinate joins it. Index-aligned series therefore read as one band whose boundaries fall halfway between adjacent points. A series with no point at that coordinate is omitted, not guessed.
  • The tooltip shows the band coordinate as its title, then one row per series with the series name painted in the series colour and its value along the other axis. title=, fields=, and format= keep their meaning.
  • The tooltip follows the pointer (the one exception to data-space anchoring, because a band has several points); a new tooltip_cursor DOM slot draws the cursor line at the snapped coordinate, reprojected on every draw; each series gets an active dot drawn from its CPU columns in the series colour.
  • xy:hover fires once per band change with points[] holding one entry per series; one exact kernel pick goes out per series and each reply replaces its row.
  • Density tiers, bars, rectangles, ribbons, funnels, heatmaps and segments keep their own hover geometry; legend-hidden series are excluded; polar falls back to nearest; keyboard traversal and static exports are unchanged. The default mode="nearest" is byte-identical to before on the wire.

Fixed on the way

Adding the active dots exposed that the existing nearest-mode hover highlight dot had stopped rendering entirely: the full point program multiplies fill alpha by the per-item a_style.x factor, the regular scatter draw moved to the simpler point program that never sets that constant attribute, and _drawHoverPoint inherited its default of 0. It now sets every constant attribute and stroke uniform the program reads. Verified in real Chrome by counting highlight-coloured pixels on the presented canvas (0 → 520 around the hovered point) and pinned by test_browser_nearest_hover_highlight_is_visible.

Verified

Browser probes drive the real client: pointer far above Page B, horizontally aligned → Page B, pv 1398, uv 3000, two active targets, cursor at Page B's x spanning the plot height; moving inside the band re-places the tooltip and sends no new picks; two pixels past the midpoint → Page C; two pixels before → Page B; outside the plot → nothing; legend-hiding uv → one row; xy:hover carries two points. A mode="y" probe on a horizontal layout, a regression probe that the default still requires the pointer near a point and never creates the cursor element, and byte-identical SVG/PNG with and without the option.

Spec / docs

spec/api/interaction.md §7.3 (new) and the §3 event row; tooltip_cursor in spec/api/styling.md, docs/styling/chrome-slots.md, and the regenerated capability matrix (48 → 49 slots, counts updated in export.md, chrome-slots.md, the dossier); docs/components/tooltips.md gains a "Shared Tooltip Along an Axis" section with a live demo.

Live capture

Pointer (red ring) far above Page B; the band tooltip, the cursor line at Page B, and both active dots in their series colours.

…ctive dots

Recharts' axis tooltip and Plotly's hovermode="x unified": with mode="x" the
pointer only has to be inside the plot, its horizontal position snaps to the
nearest x value, and every series' point at that x is listed at once while
the vertical position is ignored. The plot divides into full-height bands
whose boundaries fall halfway between adjacent points; a cursor line marks
the snapped x; each series shows an active dot; the tooltip follows the
pointer. mode="y" mirrors it along the y axis. The default, mode="nearest",
is unchanged and ships nothing new on the wire.

Client: `_hover` routes to `_hoverBand` when the mode is set. `_bandHits`
snaps every eligible series (point and line marks with retained CPU columns;
density tiers, bars, rectangles, ribbons, funnels, heatmaps and segments keep
their own hover geometry, legend-hidden series are out, polar falls back to
nearest) to its nearest point along the band axis via the new
`_nearestCpuIndexAlong` (which `_nearestCpuIndex` now delegates to), takes
the candidate closest to the pointer as the band, and admits every series
whose snapped point projects to the same coordinate within 0.5 CSS px. The
band tooltip renders a title for the coordinate (or the authored template)
and one row per series with the name painted in the series colour, honoring
fields/format; it follows the pointer rather than anchoring, and a new
`tooltip_cursor` DOM slot draws the line across the plot, reprojected on
every draw. Active dots draw from the CPU columns through a scratch VAO
rather than each trace's vertex buffer (a smoothed or stepped line's vertex
index is not its data index), in the series colour. `xy:hover` carries one
`points[]` entry per series; one exact pick per series goes to the kernel
and each reply replaces its own row, matched by seq ahead of the single-pick
sequence check.

Fixed on the way: the existing nearest-mode hover highlight dot had stopped
rendering. The full point program multiplies fill alpha by the per-item
`a_style.x` factor; the regular scatter draw moved to the simpler point
program that never sets that constant attribute, so `_drawHoverPoint`
inherited its default of 0. It now sets every constant attribute and stroke
uniform the program reads, and a probe pins the highlight paint landing on
the presented canvas.

Spec: interaction.md §7.3 (new) and the §3 xy:hover row; the slot joins
styling.md, chrome-slots.md and the regenerated capability matrix (48 -> 49
slots; counts updated in export.md and the dossier); a live capture under
spec/assets. Docs gain a "Shared Tooltip Along an Axis" section with a demo.

Tests: wire option (opt-in only, validation, dataclass positional order,
re-validation of a mutated node), browser probes for the x band (far-above
selection, same-band re-placement without new picks, midpoint boundary in
both directions, outside-plot hide, legend-hidden exclusion, cursor geometry,
series-coloured labels and active dots measured on the presented canvas, one
pick per series, xy:hover points), the y band, the unchanged default, the
restored nearest-mode highlight, and byte-identical static exports.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds xy.tooltip(mode="x"|"y") shared-axis tooltips. The client selects and groups series points, renders cursor lines and active dots, dispatches aggregated hover events, and requests exact picks. The Python API, styling slots, documentation, and tests cover the new modes.

Changes

Shared-axis tooltip modes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tooltip mode and slot contracts
python/xy/components.py, python/xy/dom.py
Adds validated nearest, x, and y tooltip modes. Non-default modes serialize on the wire. Adds the tooltip_cursor DOM slot.
Band selection and rendering
js/src/50_chartview.ts, js/src/52_tooltip.ts
Adds axis-based hit selection, grouped series targets, bar-footprint handling, cursor positioning, band tooltip rows, active dots, and resource cleanup.
Band picks and hover payloads
js/src/54_kernel.ts, js/src/57_viewstate.ts
Routes band pick replies to dedicated handling and preserves one structured hover point per series.
Styling, documentation, and validation
js/src/20_theme.ts, docs/..., spec/api/..., news/509.feature.md, tests/test_tooltip_band.py, tests/test_*
Documents the new modes and slot, applies cursor styling, updates slot counts, and validates browser behavior, exports, payloads, context recovery, and nearest-mode rendering.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f34cd

The shared-axis tooltip is broadly mergeable, but active dots may briefly render at the final position during data transitions, the mode="y" documentation is too narrowly described, and hover consumers may receive duplicate events after exact values arrive; these bounded issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe mode="y" as a Cartesian y-axis mode.

Line 205 states that mode="y" is for horizontal layouts. The interaction specification and the scatter-chart regression test support y-axis bands on Cartesian charts generally. This wording makes supported scatter and line-chart use cases appear unsupported.

Change this to state that mode="y" selects along the y axis. You can list horizontal layouts as one use case.

P3: The tooltip_cursor slot is created for both shared-axis modes, but this row only mentions mode="x". The JS (_positionTooltipCursor in js/src/52_tooltip.ts) draws the cursor for dim === "x" and dim === "y", and spec/api/styling.md documents it as mode="x"|"y". Match the spec so the row doesn't imply the slot is mode-x only.

P3: The phrase "for horizontal layouts" after mode="y" is inconsistent with both the xy.tooltip docstring and the sibling §7.3 spec in this PR, which describe mode="y" as simply "does the same along the y axis" with no layout restriction, and the code (_tooltip_mode) imposes no layout gate. Either drop the qualifier or clarify what layout condition it refers to, so readers don't assume mode="y" is unavailable in the default Cartesian layout.

…er under show=False

Edge-case pass over xy.tooltip(mode="x"|"y"). Four breaks, all fixed with
browser regression tests:

- Bars were excluded from bands, so a bar chart in band mode showed no
  tooltip at all. A bar's footprint (pos +/- width/2 in plot px) is now its
  band extent; touching footprints chain into one band, so grouped slots
  read as one category with the cursor and title on the category centre.
  Bar series snap to the chain, not the pointer: from the gap after a
  category the pointer is nearer the previous category's slot of the far
  series, which listed one series instead of all.
- The band-dot scratch VAO outlived its GL context. After a context loss
  the recovery frame bound the dead handle, the frame-ready check saw the
  error, and the restore retried forever. _initGl forgets the scratch
  objects before rebuilding; destroy() deletes them (they leaked into the
  shared host).
- show=False dropped xy:hover in band mode; nearest mode keeps it. Only the
  tooltip element and cursor are hidden now.
- Bar-band titles showed the category index instead of its label.

Probed and unchanged: interleaved x grids, log-axis boundaries, time
titles, NaN rows, y2 series, all-hidden legend, zoom off-plot, density +
line mix, decimated 1M-point line, 30 series, duplicate x, single point,
keyboard after band, polar fallback.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use transition-interpolated coordinates for band dots.

_bandCandidate uses _cpuPointValue, but Line 6831 uploads raw cpu.x and cpu.y. During a data-position transition, the cursor and title use the intermediate coordinate while the active dot renders at the final coordinate. Encode the values returned by _cpuPointValue with xMeta and yMeta before calling _drawHoverPoint.

Proposed fix
