# plotOptions.heatmap.stickyTracking

Sticky tracking of mouse events. When true, the `mouseOut` event on a series isn't triggered until the mouse moves over another series, or out of the plot area. When false, the `mouseOut` event on a series is triggered when the mouse leaves the area around the series' graph or markers. This also implies the tooltip. When `stickyTracking` is false and `tooltip.shared` is false, the tooltip will be hidden when moving the mouse between series.
