datatipSetStyle

Set the tip style for the given polyline datatips.

Calling Sequence

datatipSetStyle(curve_handle)
datatipSetStyle(curve_handle,t [,boxed [,labeled]])

Arguments

:curve_handle A handle on a polyline. : :t A number with possible value 1 or 2. If omitted a choose popup

will open.

: :boxed A a boolean, default value is %t. : :labeled A a boolean, default value is %t. :

Description

There are two different styles for the datatip polyline marker:

• Square mark, centered on the tip point.
• Directional arrows drawn along the tangeant at the tip point. The

arrowhead is on the tip point.

If the boxed option is selected the text associated with the datatip is written in a boxed area.

Examples

x=`linspace`_(-20,20,1000);
`clf`_();`plot`_(x,`sinc`_(x),x,`sinc`_(x^2));
e=`gce`_();e=e.children;
function str=mydisplay(curve, pt, index),str=`msprintf`_('%0.2g', pt(1)),endfunction
`datatipSetDisplay`_(e(1),mydisplay)
datatipSetStyle(e(1),2,%f)
d1=`datatipCreate`_(e(1),540);

datatipSetStyle(e(2),1,%t)
d2=`datatipCreate`_(e(2),200);
