Description

There are two different styles for the datatip polyline marker:

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);
