--- Tooltip module for awesome objects.
-- A tooltip is a small hint displayed when the mouse cursor
-- hovers a specific item.
-- In awesome, a tooltip can be linked with almost any
-- object having a connect_signal()
method and receiving
-- mouse::enter
and mouse::leave
signals.
--
How to create a tooltip?
--
-- myclock = awful.widget.textclock({}, "%T", 1)
-- myclock_t = awful.tooltip({
-- objects = { K },
-- timer_function = function()
-- return os.date("Today is %A %B %d %Y\nThe time is %T")
-- end,
-- })
--
--
-- How to add the same tooltip to several objects?
--
-- myclock_t:add_to_object(obj1)
-- myclock_t:add_to_object(obj2)
--
-- Now the same tooltip is attached to K
, obj1
,
-- obj2
.
--
-- How to remove tooltip from many objects?
--
-- myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj1)
-- myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj2)
--
-- Now the same tooltip is only attached to K
.
