    Is there a way to customize the hover text box in plotly? The text I have to show up in the hover box is quite long and does not fit on the screen. Is there are a way to change the dimensions of the hover text box or make the text smaller to have it all fit on the screen. Even better would be a fixed box on the side of the chart that shows the corresponding note as I scroll over that data point but I am not sure how to do that.

    Here is a sample of what I'm trying to do with some similar length text.

    import plotly.plotly as py
    from plotly.graph_objs import *
    import plotly
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd

    data1 = Data([

    mode='markers',
    text=notes,
    )
    ])
    layout = Layout(
    title='Hover over the points to see the text',autosize=True,
    )
    fig = Figure(data=data1, layout=layout,)

    fig['layout'].update(
    hovermode='closest',
    showlegend=False,
    autosize=True,

    )
    plot_url = py.plot(fig, filename='hover-chart-basic')
    py.plot(fig, filename='hover-chart-basic')


    Any help would be much appreciated!
