Display tooltip without source point

[Louis Creteur]

Hi, I have a simple spline chart ( 100 points )

I would like to be able to click on the chart between 2 points to display its coordinates.

https://canvasjs.com/docs/charts/chart-options/data/click/ only allows you to click on a datapoint itself.

Is there any way to click on the chart between 2 datapoints ?

thanks

@creteurlouis,

You can bind mouse events to the chart-container(div) and get mouse coordinates in pixels, which you can convert to corresponding value along axis using convertPixelToValue. Please take a look at this JSFiddle for an example.
