[Scilab-Dev] Datatips detach

[Caio Souza]

Hello,

I'm working with the datatips detach idea proposed
https://wiki.scilab.org/Contributor%20-%20Datatips.

I'm thinking about the detach position, the given ideas page propose to use
"xyz" to position it, but if the main idea is to move the datatip outside
the viewport, using a fixed 2D position may be useful.
For example, pixel position or [-1,1] x [-1,1] window position.

The choice of which coordinates to use would make difference when rotations
are applied, with "xyz" some rotations would bring the datatips back to
viewport, making the old detached position useles, on the other hand if 2D
window position is used the datatips would be fixed and any rotations made
would not afect their position, but the lines linking the text to the
anchor could cross each other.


Should I stick with the "xyz" or change it to the 2D?
Both have advantages and downsides, any comments?

Thanks
