Hi Yoad Pilosof,
I see that you are trying to add a Y-based dataTipTextRow to your plot but are facing an error when using a 2-input lambda function and setting the custom format to display 3 digits after the decimal.
A workaround to resolve this error is to use the sprintf function within the lambda function provided to dataTipTextRow. The sprintf function allows for precise control over the format of the output string. Please change the last line in your code as shown in the code snippet below:
p = plot((1:10).^2); % Define a line
% X-Based Datatip, with `auto` formatting
p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows = [p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows; dataTipTextRow("A", @(x) 2*x, 'auto')];
% X-Based Datatip, with floating point formatting
p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows = [p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows; dataTipTextRow("B", @(x) 2*x, '%.3f')];
% Y-Based Datatip, with `auto` formatting
p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows = [p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows; dataTipTextRow("C", @(~, y) 2*y, 'auto')];
% Y-Based Datatip, with floating point formatting
%% Using sprintf in the lambda function.
p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows = [p.DataTipTemplate.DataTipRows; dataTipTextRow("D", @(~,y) sprintf('%.3f', 2*y))];
% Verify the result
datatip(p,8,64);
Please refer to the documentation link to learn more about sprintf function.
Hope this helps!
