There are three types of interactions to choose from: **Tooltip**, **Brushing** and **Coordinate**. Note that only one of tooltip and brushing can be on at a time.

## Tooltips

tooltip displays metrics when hovering over a data point. You can choose which fields are displayed from the tooltip config menu.

* **Image** Image can be added to tooltip. If field name contains `<img>` and the field content contains `http` url

| id | `<img>-tooltip`                      |
| -- | ------------------------------------ |
| 1  | `http://my-image.com/my-image-0.png` |
| 2  | `http://my-image.com/my-image-1.png` |

* **Web link** Tooltip can be a clickable weblink. To add a web link as tooltip, add a url that starts with `http://` to the field content.

## Brushing

* **Brush**: Brush allows you to highlight areas with the cursor. When brush is turned on, all layers darken. Only the portion you hover over with the cursor is illuminated. Brush works well with arc layers in particular.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kepler.gl/docs/user-guides/g-interactions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
