Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the current tooltip, direction information is difficult to define in the code during the hover data event.
Describe the solution you'd like
Keep the tooltip automatically in the visible region depending on the view zone.
Describe alternatives you've considered and additional context
direction = "bottom" if y > 1.5 else "top"

As you can observe 1.5 threshold is not good in all the contexts.
