Interaction

Interactivity is supported by Hypocube at two levels: pointer events and gestures.

Pointer events are browser events intended to simplify the differences between mouse and touch events: therefore, Hypocube uses them instead of the more familiar mouse events, like onClick. Pointer event handlers can be passed to the Chart, as well as most elements contained within the Chart. These latter handlers will not fire when rendering in canvas-mode, however. A typical use for pointer events would be display a tooltip when a data point is clicked (or touched). Read more about pointer events.

Gesture handlers are passed only to Chart elements. They can be used to handle click-and-drag-type mouse movements, touch screen, and Mac trackpad gestures. A typical use for gesture handlers is to pan or zoom the map in response to gestures, like Google Maps. Read more about gestures.
