React Charts - Crosshair

The DevExtreme Chart component ships with integrated crosshair support (vertical and horizontal lines centered on a data point). When enabled, the crosshair follows the cursor and snaps to the nearest series point. To configure crosshair settings, specify the crosshair object.
