File Information

Description

Have you ever looked at a plot and said "what's the value of the curve at this point?" Were you frustrated that gpinut only told you where you clicked, not the actual data value?

Well, worry no more! With datalabel, a single click on a line labels the point with its (x,y) coordinates. But wait, there's more! You can label as many points as you want, on as many lines as you've got. You can move the labels. You can add markers to the labels. You can even delete the labels.

So, don't delay. Download datalabel now, before supplies run out!

23 Sep 2003	Wong Yew Leong	Cool...just what we wanted!
23 Oct 2003	Andrey Loginov	Cool and easy to upgrade! If you wish to get optional label backgrounds, text size, text color&style or even optional label position simply change input, store additional fields with "setappdata" and get them further with "getappdata". It is also not difficult to modify code to get labels in between of XY line data points:).

Updates
08 Apr 2002	Through discussions with our developers, I realized that this file has the same name as a file that will be included in R13 (the capabilities are different). Would it be possible to change the name to datalabel? Thanks, Scott
15 May 2002	The text labels can now be moved relative to the data markers. This makes it easier to read labels that might have been obscured by other data.
06 Jun 2003	Add telemetry keyword.
26 Jan 2006	Bug fix: Now works on horizontal lines. Thanks to Robert Young for catching this and fixing the code!
