Hello everyone!

I am now doing some Matlab GUI programming stuff and it plots many points (line objects) into a axes.

What I really want is something like this:

if I move the mouse cursor onto these points, after letting the cursor staying for a while on this point, something like "tooltip" comes out and shows me which position this point has in the axes.

I found some excellent functions to make this functionality. But they require extra user reaction like click on the point.

Does someone know how to realize something like this? Or is it simply positble?

Thank you very much.
