I programmatically trigger a tooltip to show and to hide in my chart. I do this by dispatching the showTip and hideTip actions on the chart.
showTip triggers a tooltip to show and shows the axisPointer as well. But when dispatching hideTip the tooltip is hidden, but the axisPointer remains visible until I move my mouse inside and out of the chart canvas.
Is it possible to hide the axisPointer as well by dispatching another action. Or is this just a bug in the code of ECharts?
This is a problem occuring for some time, reported as a bug https://github.com/apache/echarts/issues/8892 but there seems it's not a high priority.
A hacky way I found that helps is to add a showTip with dataIndex:-1 after the hideTip
myChart.dispatchAction({
type: 'hideTip'
});
myChart.dispatchAction({
type: 'showTip',
seriesIndex: 0,
dataIndex: -1
});
