• originalArgument
  Specifies the argument value of the currently represented point as it is set in the data source.

• argumentText
  Specifies the argument value of the currently hovered point with applied formatting if the argumentFormat option is specified.
• seriesName
  Specifies the series of the currently hovered point.

To learn more about the fields and methods of the point object, refer to the Point topic in the "Chart Elements" reference section.

This option accepts a value from 0 to 1, where 0 makes tooltips completely transparent, and 1 makes them opaque.

By default, a tooltip displays information about the currently hovered series point. If you set the shared option to true, the tooltip will display information about all the points that have the same argument as the hovered point at once.

If the text displayed in the tooltip by default doesn't suit your needs, you can customize it using the customizeTooltip option.

If the widget's container has the CSS z-index property specified, and tooltips are displayed incorrectly, configure their z-index using this option.
