Description

Parallel coordinate charts are useful when we have to filter out data across multiple dimensions and play with the constraints interactively. It would be nice to have a hover feature over the lines which would display their respective IDs or labels so to identify which row or column it is.

Currently, I am not able to hover over or extract out the data filtered data from the chart which is the goal of a parallel coordinate chart.

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the parallel coordinate chart implementation and its interaction tests; done means hovering a line exposes its row or column ID or label and the filtered data can be identified.
