body {
    font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="container" style="height: 400px"></div>

Try hovering the chart are somewhere. You will notice that it automatically triggers hover event for the appropriate x value on the chart.

Even though we haven't even hovered over the line itself.

I would like to disable it. I want to trigger hover event only when the hover happened on the lite itself.
