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;
d1=datatipCreate(e(1),540);
function str=mydisplay(h)
pt = h.data;
str=msprintf('%0.2g \n %0.2g', pt(1), pt(2))
endfunction
datatipSetDisplay(d1,"mydisplay")
datatipSetStyle(e(1),2,%f)
datatipSetOrientation(d1,"upper left");

d2=datatipCreate(e(2),200);
datatipSetStyle(e(2),1,%t)
datatipSetOrientation(d2,"lower left");
