Document the need to set :has-tooltip on the Canvas (1.05 KB, patch)

Description Will Thompson 2010-10-07 14:51:51 UTC 
I couldn't figure out why setting "tooltip" on my canvas items wasn't working. After playing around to see if it was a problem with grouping of items inside tables, I eventually noticed that demo.c explicitly sets "has-tooltip" on the GooCanvas widget to TRUE.

I think that in an ideal world this would happen automatically, but I can see that the cost of propagating “hey, something in the canvas has a tooltip on it!” around is probably not worth it compared to the developer setting "has-tooltip". So, I think this requirement should be documented.

This patch is against goocanvas-1.0. I don't know if any more releases are planned from that branch.
Comment 3 Damon Chaplin 2010-10-09 12:22:44 UTC 
Yes, that looks helpful. I'll apply it to all the branches. Thanks.
Comment 4 Murray Cumming 2011-09-01 12:58:08 UTC 
Pushed to the master and goocanvas-1.0 branches. I guess Damon forgot to.
