Hi Brian,
As of R2014b there is no way to set the default data tip precision. Thus, you will need to change the datacursormode options for each of your figures. However, if you wish to change all data tips for your graphs in the same way, you can define one function to serve as the UpdateFcn for all of your figures.
For example, if you wish to display five decimal places on each graph's data tip, your code might look something like this:
fig1 = figure;
surf(peaks);
fig2 = figure;
plot([1:0.1:10], [1:0.1:10]);
dcm1 = datacursormode(fig1);
set(dcm1, 'UpdateFcn', @myUpdateFcn, 'Enable', 'on');
dcm2 = datacursormode(fig2);
set(dcm2, 'UpdateFcn', @myUpdateFcn, 'Enable', 'on');
function outText = myUpdateFcn(obj, event)
pos = get(event, 'Position');
if length(pos) == 3
outText = {sprintf('X: %.5f', pos(1), ...
sprintf('Y: %.5f', pos(2), ...
sprintf('Z: %.5f', pos(3)};
else
outText = {sprintf('X: %.5f', pos(1), ...
sprintf('Y: %.5f', pos(2)};
end
end
This code will change your data tips to show five decimal places. You can change this number by modifying the number in the %.5f portion of the sprintf function.
I hope this helps.
