Hover tool improvements

Hi Bryan,

I would like to contribute to improve the hover tool, it would be very handy to have the ability of

  1. disable the hover tool by default

  2. select the nearest data point to avoid multiple entries in the tooltip

https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/2328

do you think that is something easy to implement? are there guidelines on how to do that?

Hi Bryan,

as an alternative to the hover tool, I’ve learned from Perter’s webinar that I can accomplish what I needed using the tap tool and a data table. I think this approach is actually better than the hover tool for my application because of the number of attributes and the possibility of implementing actions associated to each attribute.

Here is a screenshot of the current app.

btw, Peter’s webinar was awesome and encouraging, also learned about geoviews that I plan to use in the near term.

cheers,
