description of the Datatip entity properties
The Datatip entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. This entity defines the parameters for datatips.
handle of the curve the datatip is plugged on.
unused.
"on": the datatip is displayable according to the
parent.datatip_display_mode
setting.
"off": the datatip display is canceled anyway.
Cartesian coordinates of the datatip's anchor on its curve, in data scales.
For curves in special not-cartesian grids (after polarplot(), sgrid(), etc),
.data
contains the raw equivalent cartesian coordinates.
Matrix of texts to be displayed (as a matrix) in the datatip label. Leading and trailing spaces are all trimmed. In each cell, the text is centered.
This field sets the interpolation mode for tip location. Its value should be
"on"
(interpolation is made between mesh points) or "off"
(the tips can only be located at the mesh points).
This field contains the default box_mode
property
value for the datatip. Its value should be "on"
(box
drawn) or "off"
(no box drawn).
This field contains the default label_mode
property
value for the datatip. Its value should be "on"
(label
written) or "off"
(no label written).
This field controls which components are displayed. Its default value is
"xy"
for 2D views and "xyz"
for 3D views.
Possible values are any combination of "x"
,
"y"
and "z"
, like
"zy"
, "xzy"
, "xz"
,
"y"
, etc.
The components are drawn in the order they are found in the string.

polyline_properties
help page.
This field sets the position on the text box with respect to polyline point. The possible values are 0 (upper left), 1 (upper right), 2 (lower left), 3 (lower right), 4 (left), 5 (right), 6 (upper) or 7 (lower).
This field contains the default auto_orientation
property
value for the datatip. Its value should be "on"
(automatic orientation)
or "off"
(no automatic orientation). In the "off"
case,
See orientation
property.
This field sets the position [x y z]
of the bottom left
corner of the datatip text box, even when the link to the polyline starts
from another corner. When its value is []
,
the datatip text box is drawn attached to its anchor point in the polyline.
In detached mode, it is not possible to force the starting point of the link on the box frame. It is autoset.
This field contains the default font_foreground
property
Its value should be a color index (relative to the current colormap).
This field contains the default foreground
property
used to draw the box. Its value should be a color index (relative
to the current colormap).
See
polyline_properties
help page.
This field contains the line_style
used in the line linking
the datatip anchor point to its text box when detached_position
is set.
