I too would like to know if anything is planned for built-in support for things like hover states, tooltips, etc, so that users can inspect/explore/drill-into the data shown in a Variance-powered chart.
We have some stuff planned, but nothing on a firm timeline.
That said, remember that Variance was designed to embrace HTML and CSS.
You want hover effects? Use a plain ol' CSS selector.
If you want something more elaborate, you can definitely just throw some classes onto different parts of your visualization and use other JS libraries like Bootstrap's tooltips.
Cool, thanks. I have already played around a bit with adding some hover effects etc, which is indeed straightforward since I can just use a plain old selector as you mention, etc.
I need to mess around to see if there is a straightforward way I could get a reference to the underlying data item (the row in the .csv for many of your examples, etc) from the context of a callback that fires on say $('bar').hover() or what have you. Will look into it.
