how to show multiple values in point hover using chart.js

Question

I want to know that if it is possible to show more values on point hover in chart.js.

Have a look in this fiddle. This is a smiple graph example taken from the chart.js site. If i hover a point it shows the dataset value.

How can i show other value. like along this array.

[65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40]

if i want to show this array values [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Like i want to show numbering. This is just an example actually i want to show more two values but not want to plot it on the graph only showed in the pointhover. Like on 65 it tells that it is 1th value.

Any kind of help would be much appreciated.

Yes it is possible, please use tooltips option as below

var ctx = document.getElementById('chart1').getContext("2d");
    var data = {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
    datasets: [
        {
            label: "My First dataset",
            fill: false,
            lineTension: 0.1,
            backgroundColor: "rgba(75,192,192,0.4)",
            borderColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
            borderCapStyle: 'butt',
            borderDash: [],
            borderDashOffset: 0.0,
            borderJoinStyle: 'miter',
            pointBorderColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
            pointBackgroundColor: "#fff",
            pointBorderWidth: 1,
            pointHoverRadius: 5,
            pointHoverBackgroundColor: "rgba(75,192,192,1)",
            pointHoverBorderColor: "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            pointHoverBorderWidth: 2,
            pointRadius: 1,
            pointHitRadius: 10,
            data: [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40],
            spanGaps: false,
        }
    ]
};



var options = {
        responsive: true,
        title: {
            display: true,
            position: "top",
            text: 'anything',
            fontSize: 18,
            fontColor: "#111"
        },
        tooltips: {
                enabled: true,
                mode: 'single',
                callbacks: {
                    label: function(tooltipItems, data) { 
                       var multistringText = [tooltipItems.yLabel];
                           multistringText.push('Another Item');
                           multistringText.push(tooltipItems.index+1);
                           multistringText.push('One more Item');
                        return multistringText;
                    }
                }
            },
        legend: {
            display: true,
            position: "bottom",
            labels: {
                fontColor: "#333",
                fontSize: 16
            }
        },
        scales:{
            yAxes:[{
                ticks:{
                    min:0

                }
            }]

        }
    };
var myLineChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: data,
    options: options
});
