The tooltip does not appear as I expect. The date "2018-01-01" appears as "2017-12-31". Please note that my computer is in the "America/Chicago"
time zone, so at "2018-01-01" UTC, it was "2017-12-31" in my timezone.
I am using a toy dataset with dates 2018-01-01 to 2018-01-07, inclusive.
The x scale is UTC, and I expect the tooltip to parse date
as UTC because the date string is in ISO format.
If I specify the date in the tooltip as a nominal variable, it works as I expect.
"tooltip": [
{
"field": "date",
"type": "nominal"
},
{
"field": "value",
"type": "quantitative"
}
]
A solution to the problem is to put a UTC scale with the tooltip: https://bl.ocks.org/ijlyttle/bccff7673c98e61b887684dbe597cbd3
