You can also make manual tips that are basically like notifications to a canvas:
[tgl]
|
[tip $1 Hello World(
|
[send thisCanvas]
[namecanvas thisCanvas]
The tip will try to stay out of the way of the mouse. This is a nice tool to
design
tutorials that can dynamically give tips as the user clicks on stuff, for
example.
You can also generate the tips from a gui plugin-- might be interesting to make
a
"patching clock" that sends a timed message to the canvas that currently has
focus: "Hey, you've been patching for 20 minutes straight... take a break!"
