WorldViz User Forum - How to use viztip ?

The viztip module allows you to assign a tooltip attribute to any node object that contains the tooltip text. Then you just need to create an instance of the viztip.ToolTip object and it will automatically display an on-screen tooltip when the mouse is over the node. Here is a small sample script:

Code:

import viz

viz.go()



viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')



#Create models with tooltip text

ball1 = viz.add('ball.wrl',pos=(-2,1,5))

ball1.tooltip = 'Ball 1'



ball2 = viz.add('ball.wrl',pos=(0,1,5))

ball2.tooltip = 'Ball 2'



ball3 = viz.add('ball.wrl',pos=(2,1,5))

ball3.tooltip = 'Ball 3'



#Create a tool tip object

import viztip

tip = viztip.ToolTip()
