MAKEDATATIP allows programmatically adding datatips to some graphical objects.

Updated to allow adding datatips to additional handle objects including scatter plots and images. If there are other object types you want supported that do not currently work, please let me know.

Example:
x = 1:10;
y = rand(1,10);
hPlot = plot(x,y);
makedatatip(hPlot,[3 8])

Example:
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(30);
hObj = surf(X,Y,Z);
I = [5 8; 20 12; 22 28];
hDatatip = makedatatip(hObj, I);
