# tooltip.shape

The name of a symbol to use for the border around the tooltip. Can be one of: `"callout"`, `"circle"` or `"rect"`. When tooltip.split option is enabled, shape is applied to all boxes except header, which is controlled by tooltip.headerShape.

Custom callbacks for symbol path generation can also be added to `Highcharts.SVGRenderer.prototype.symbols` the same way as for series.marker.symbol.

Defaults to `callout` for floating tooltip, `rect` for fixed tooltip.
