# plotOptions.contour.tooltip.format

A format string for the whole shared tooltip. When format strings are a requirement, it is usually more convenient to use `headerFormat`, `pointFormat` and `footerFormat`, but the `format` option allows combining them into one setting.

The context of the format string is the same as that of the `tooltip.formatter` callback.
