| `mode` | `string` | `'nearest'` | Sets which elements appear in the tooltip. See [Interaction Modes](./modes.md#interaction-modes) for details.
| `intersect` | `boolean` | `true` | if true, the hover mode only applies when the mouse position intersects an item on the chart.
| `axis` | `string` | `'x'` | Can be set to `'x'`, `'y'`, or `'xy'` to define which directions are used in calculating distances. Defaults to `'x'` for `'index'` mode and `'xy'` in `dataset` and `'nearest'` modes.

+The same options can be set into the `options.hover` namespace, in which case they will only affect the hover effect and the tooltip configuration will be kept independent.
