.drag_drop


class: DragDropOptions

class DragDropOptions(**kwargs)[source]

The draggable-points module allows points to be moved around or modified in the chart.

In addition to the options mentioned under the dragDrop API structure, the module fires three (JavaScript) events:

  • point.dragStart

  • point.drag

  • point.drop
