Axis title could also change the labels in the hovering popup

This is an enhancement suggestion.

When setting the title of an axis, such as:

        xaxis: {
            type: 'linear',
            zeroline: false,
            title: "hellox"  // <----
        },

it would make sense to have the same title as default value in the popup being shown on mouse hovering. Currently, the default value stays “x”, where it could have been “hellox” instead.

See an example here: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/qoGQvx

Please, let me know if that makes sense.

I think this makes a ton of sense in general and especially in 3d and ternary contexts: 3d because after a few rotations or whatever, it’s no longer visually clear what x, y, and z mean, and ternary because there’s no reasonable way a user could know what A, B and C map to 😉

@alexcjohnson Thanks for your comment.

I agree. As a way to not always enable this behaviour, we could have some sort of “flag” option (boolean) which would be false by default to not break the current behaviour. When setting it to true, users could expect limitations such as title being too long and the other things you mentioned.

I’m not familiar enough with the code to be able to determine a more robust solution at this point, but I think the above suggestion could do the trick.
