Using the chartist tooltip plugin on a bar chart, I implemented a tooltip that comes up when the mouse cursor hovers over a bar, displaying the value of the bar plus other information. This works great. However, I'd like for this to work similarly when the user taps or clicks the bar, for touch-screen devices that don't support a mouse.
Ideal behavior would be for the tooltip to disappear when the user lifts the finger from the screen, or releases the mouse-click, similar to a "momentary contact" physical button or switch. However, what happens with the current hover implementation is that the tooltip remains displayed until an empty area of the chart is tapped or clicked.
How do I make the tap or mouse-click "momentary contact" without sacrificing the hover behavior?
