How can I dispatch an annotation event

[afshinmoshrefi]

I am using the enter and leave events on the box annotation to detect when a user cursor is over the box or outside of the box. It all works as expected on the desktop browsers.

I am now adapting it to run on mobile browsers. enter and leave events on box annotation are working when there is a touch inside a box annotation.

I have a scenario where I want to dispatch the leave event of box annotation without a user touching the screen.

how can I dispatch the leave event?

@afshinmoshrefi The plugin is handling events coming from Chart.js by event hook of plugin interface.
Therefore, to dispatch an event, it is needed to dispatch an event on the chart canvas.

Here is a codepen: https://codepen.io/stockinail/pen/ExEENGQ

dispatching 'leave' on chart.canvas worked. Thanks.
