chTip – supply pop-up tips for data points

This function adds a pop-up to a given set of data points, so that as you move the mouse over the data in the viewer, the tip shows in a transient pop-up window.

The argument may be a 3-element vector (row,column index in the data series and text for the tip):

chTip 5 1 'This one is exploded!'

To set multiple tips in one call, use the Tips property, passing the entire array of tips as the value.

Tips are used as the ‘alt text’ on HTML image maps and as the jump ‘title’ attribute in VML. In the Microsoft browsers, the user will see the tip as a pop-up when the mouse is waved over the hotspot in the chart. In the built-in chart viewer, both hints and tips appear in the status-line.
