How to display tooltips on jqplot pie chart

Question

I have a jqplot pie chart with a legend and I would like to get the legend text to appear as a tooltip when the mouse hovers on the pies. I\'m not sure how to do that. Doe

I'm using the latest version of jqPlot and got the tooltips to work by just using the following inside "seriesDefaults" section:

highlighter: {
  show: true,
  formatString:'%s', 
  tooltipLocation:'sw', 
  useAxesFormatters:false
}

The important part is "useAxesFormatters: false" since there are no axes in a pie chart. Feel free to change the "formatString" to whatever it is you want to, but for me, just "%s" shows the exact same string which shows up in the legends.
