Remove hover tooltip from Google Visualization pie chart (core chart)

Question

How to remove hover tooltip from Google Visualization pie chart (core chart)? Need to make it work cross-browser, eg, IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera

Edit: I need the slices to be be clickable too.
enableInteractivity : false removes the hovers but doens't throw 'select' or other interaction-based events.

Solution 1

Maybe you need to add this to your chart's options

'tooltip' : {
  trigger: 'none'
}

In this way you can leave enableInteractivity set to true.

Solution 2

Use the enableInteractivity = False option. It will disable interaction and hover.

chart.draw(data, {   
  width: 400, 
  height: 240, 
  title: 'Your chart and data',
  enableInteractivity: false,
  hAxis: {title: 'Year'}
});

Solution 3

set tooltip: { isHtml: true } in option section.

chart.draw(data, {   
  tooltip: { isHtml: true },
  width: 400, 
  height: 240, 
  title: 'Title',
  hAxis: {title: 'Year'}
});

in css file

div.google-visualization-tooltip { display:none }

Solution 4

This remove hover event but maintains the click event:

tooltip: { trigger: 'selection' }

Thanks Nix. However, I need the slices to be be clickable too. "enableInteractivity : false" removes the hovers but doens't throw 'select' or other interaction-based events.

that does not work for me. the tooltip boxes are still displayed.

Thank you for the answer. This attribute was released after I posted my question. It was a much needed functionality, hence Google took it up.

@Dominik: I had a similar issue with the Timeline visualization, as the tooltip option doesn't seem to be supported. I wasn't able to suppress the hover event itself, but defining a CSS style of display: none; for elements with the class google-visualization-tooltip kept the Timeline tooltips hidden. The class seems generic enough that I'd expect this might work with other chart types as well.

In the case of the wordTree visualization, @jmikola suggestion didn't work either. My dirty hack was to modify the id values of the elements I didn't want any event to be associated to.

Thanks - worked for me, only with no quotes around tooltip so in context it's var options = { tooltip: { trigger: 'none' } };

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
