# series.boxplot.tooltip.followPointer

Whether the tooltip should follow the mouse as it moves across columns, pie slices and other point types with an extent. By default it behaves this way for pie, polygon, map, sankey and wordcloud series by override in the `plotOptions` for those series types.

For touch moves to behave the same way, followTouchMove must be `true` also.
