Tooltips may be added to an iOS Chart using the SCIRolloverModifier. This is a SCIChartModifierBase derived type which is attached to the SCIChartSurface.chartModifiers property.

The RolloverModifier provides a vertical line with small ellipse markers where the line intersects the series. Tooltips are displayed next to the marker locations. This tooltip type is particularly useful for stock charts, or for apps displaying a time series, where you need to know the values of many series on an iOS Chart at the same time.

NOTE: See documentation about the SCIRolloverModifier Type here.
