Hello,
Thanks Rishubh for your proposal.

Hi Rish,
I guess the simpler proposal is the better, from a user point of view :
1) "no value" : no tooltip is displayed
Simply use the empty matrix scilab symbol [] for empty or none representation.
```scilab
o = uicontrol("table", ...);
o.tooltips = []
.
.tooltips expecting a string, IMO "" would even be clearer than
providing a constant and less specific type [].
But both could be supported.
2) "values" (special flag): The value of each cell is tooltiped when
overflying it.
This mode is required to ensure that the contents of too narrow cells can be
fully seen without
editing the cell.
.
Definitively yes. This proposal will be able to automatically update
.tooltips when modifying .data.
Exactly what is needed, and the best way to avoid discrepancies.
This is a corner-case that can be easily implemented in a generic way. To
display all the values as
tooltips, implement something like :
```scilab
o = uicontrol("table", ...);
o.tooltips = o.data;
```
3) "TT": where TT is a matrix of strings of .strings size: When overflying
the cell(i,j), the
tooltip's content is the TT(i,j) content + \n + the cell(i,j) content.
Again this seems to be complex and hard to understand by the end user. Using a
string matrix will
allow a simple definition of what a tooltip is. Ignore the empty string "" to
let the user undefine
a tooltip for a specific cell ; othewise any string value might be used as a
tooltip.
Yes, finally i rather agree with this. The first idea was to have a
"cumulated" mode (entries + comment) as the default.
But being able to set only a comment would be better. If we want to
display entries as well,
doing a element-wise .tooltips = comment + .data will be very simple,
and more customizable:
if we want entries in heading lines instead of trailing ones, .tooltips
= .data + comments will do i.
```scilab
o = uicontrol("table", ...);
o.tooltips = ["tooltip for (1,1)" "tooltip for (1,2)" "tooltip for (1,3)"
"tooltip for (2,1)" "tooltip for (2,2)" ""]
```
Thanks for any remarks,
I was somewhat wondering about the way the heading line and column will
be declared when needed,
and then where (in .data($,:) and .data(:,$), to be rendered in (1,:)
and (:,1)). But finally, even them could
need some tooltips. No reason to exclude tooltips for them.
Hoping to read other comments soon,
Samuel
