Line Graph Tooltip to show only the data points for the line over which you hover/select

When you hover over a line on a line graph, the tool tip shows the data points for ALL the members in the legend/series. And depending on the number of members in the series, often due to the limit of lines in the tooltip, you can't see the one you want. I would like to be able to just see the data point for the line over which the user hovers, similar to the way tooltips work in a bar chart.

I support this idea. Having multiple lines in a line chart (9 lines in my case) makes the tooltip confusing and unclear. It should highlight the line data which is hovered.

I think showing the tooltip for a single point should be the default behaviour in line charts.
