Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Current tcltk library does not support tooltip unless an extension is included. The function tooltip is implemented as an alternative.

1	tooltip(text, targetWidget, width = 350)

`text`	`text` a character string for the content of the tooltip
`targetWidget`	`targetWidget` a tkwin object for the target tcltk widget to which a tool tip will be associated
`width`	`width` an integer for the width (in pixels) of the tooltip

Given a target tcltk widget, a tooltip will be associated with the widget. The content of the tooltip will be shown when mouse moves over the widget and disappear when mouse moves out of the widget.

This function returns invisible()
