3#  COMPONENT: tooltip - help information that pops up beneath a widget
4#
5#  This file provides support for tooltips, which are little bits
6#  of help information that pop up beneath a widget.
7#
8#  Tooltips can be registered for various widgets as follows:
9#
10#    Rappture::Tooltip::for .w "Some help text."
11#    Rappture::Tooltip::for .x.y "Some more help text."
12#
13#  Tooltips can also be popped up as an error cue beneath a widget
14#  with bad information:
15#
16#    Rappture::Tooltip::cue .w "Bad data in this widget."
