animationEnabled: Boolean

While mouse hovers from one dataPoint to another there is a smooth transition in toolTip. This effect can be controlled by animationEnabled Property. Setting it to false, will disable the animation and toolTip will directly switch from one dataPoint to the other.
Try in the below editor.

• Disabling Animation gives jerky effect when mouse hovers between various dataPoints.

var  chart =  new  CanvasJS.Chart("container",
{
 .
 .
 toolTip:{
   animationEnabled: true,
 },
 .
 . 
});
chart.render();
