To use tooltips API, the developer will need to:Transition from standard R-script visual to HTML R Custom visual, that may be very easy or very complicated, depending on packages used.Add to every relevant entity in the R HTML widget an “on-hover” behavior invoking tool-tips API (this can and should be done using plotly’s commands in the R script)Connect the specific details to be shown in the tooltip to the call in “b.” – this may be difficult for certain visualizations.&nbsp;Pros:Same look and feel as other PBI visualsCan display tooltips outside of visual’s iframe boundaries.&nbsp;Cons:Requires some TS codingDepending on specific implementation, may be difficult to implement.&nbsp;To use plotly’s built-in tool tips, the developer will still need step “1.” above (static images won’t generate tooltips, he must generate a functioning HTML widget…)&nbsp;Pros:Only R coding, (aside from transition to R HTML widget)Data automatically available for tooltip.&nbsp;Cons:Tooltips limited to visual’s plot R area.Look and feel inconsistent with PBI’s&nbsp;You might also take a look at&nbsp;https://github.com/Microsoft/powerbi-visuals-funnel&nbsp;as an example.&nbsp;Ignat Vilesov,Software Engineer&nbsp;Microsoft Power BI Custom Visualspbicvsupport@microsoft.com
