HoverTool with several Glyphs, selecting just one Glyph

See original GitHub issue

When using a HoverTool in a Plot with several Glyphs, how can you (or can you?) specify to just hover over one of the Glyphs?

Right now, if I have Patches + Circles that overlay, the circle doesn’t get the hover box displayed just the Patch, if there is no Patch (e.g. in a map, the sea), then the circle does get the hover box displayed.

e.g.: screen shot 2014-08-07 at 1 20 50 pm

screen shot 2014-08-07 at 1 21 05 pm

If just one of the Glyphs has the variable in the HoverTool (e.g. Circles source has name, Patches source doesn’t), then you still get this:

Ideas: -In case of several Glyphs, if one doesn’t have the variables name in its source, then HoverTool doesn’t apply to that Glyph? or, -Be able to assign Hover to a particular Glyph?

Hover does not currently play well with multiple renderers.

Here is the status as of #1294: You can attach a specific hover tool a specific renderer, either by passing the renderer itself to .renderers list or by passing the name for the renderer into .names list. Making hover work well will multiple renderers is on my short list but it is not trivial.
