Class InstantTipper

java.lang.Object

java.awt.event.MouseAdapter

uk.ac.starlink.topcat.plot2.InstantTipper

All Implemented Interfaces:

MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener, EventListener

public class InstantTipper
extends MouseAdapter

MouseListener that, when installed on a component, causes tooltips to appear instantly and without dismissal.

This works by doctoring the global ToolTipManager. It will not play nicely with any other code that is making global adjustments to tool tip management. I'd like to do it differently, but ToolTipManager itself is a singleton, which makes it difficult to handle this in a more localised way.

Singleton class.
