I cant turn off data tips

Im inside of a callback function from a mouse click on a pop up menu that populates a graph. No matter what I do I can't get the data tips to not show when I mouse over, or click the graphs. I want the data tips and ability to select data points off. I realize I am in a function the uses a mouse click callback so I suppose I don't know if I even can do that. I've tried using datacursormode off but that didn't work either. Thanks in advance.

Isaiah - please show us the code that you use to turns the data tips on and then how you turn them off again. Are you storing the data cursor mode object that is created when you turn the tips on?

[Isaiah Slemons]

That's my biggest issue. I never turn them on. It says in the source that they default to off but I am not experiencing that.

Did this problem ever get solved? Because I have the same problem. I never turn datatips on (or indeed use them) but my figures get littered with them.

Lane: I asked the same question here because the datatips were driving me nutty too. This solution works, for me but I have to type it before I click on any axes.

Hi,

As I understand you want to disable the data tips that occur while hovering mouse over the figures.

disableDefaultInteractivity(ax)

Above function allows to disable the default axes interactions or a custom set of axes interactions.

Refer the below link to understand the input parameters to the above function.

Apurvi, could you please forward a whish for a more prominent placing of information about how to turn this feature off in the documentation.
