double[] ys = DataGen.Sin(50);
plt.AddSignal(ys);

plt.AddTooltip(label: "Special Point", x: 17, y: ys[17]);

plt.SaveFig("tooltip_quickstart.png");

Tooltip Font

Tooltips fonts can be customized

var plt = new ScottPlot.Plot(600, 400);

double[] ys = DataGen.Sin(50);
plt.AddSignal(ys);

var tt1 = plt.AddTooltip("Top", 12, ys[12]);
tt1.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Magenta;
tt1.Font.Size = 24;
