Is it possible to get Dash-Cytoscape graph tooltips?

Question

Here is an example cytoscape graph that I created using this site as reference here

I was wondering if its possible to show the tooltips when hovering on each node in a graph in the same way that plotly can do to its graphs (like this)

Answer 1

Dash Cytoscape does not have a built-in tooltip. It's possible to use hover callbacks (documented in the event callback guide) to update the content of a separate component (such as a html.P on the side). However that will not behave the same way as a tooltip.

You might also be able to build a custom component (using the component boilerplate) that follows your cursor and display custom information (given by the hoverData prop) whenever it is updated by a hover callback. However, that would require knowledge of JavaScript and React, which can be learned from the React for Python developers primer.
