Favorite tooltip (simple version) v7
license: mit

This is a follow on from a simple line graph and is based on @mbostock's example here.

It impliments a simple tooltip which I find particularly neat. This implimentation is designed as a simple example which will be built on to create a slightly more complex example.

This graph is part of the code samples for the update to the book D3 Tips and Tricks to version 7 of d3.js.
