[Gnuplot-info] information about a point in scatter

[antong <ant...@gm...>]

Hi all, 

I have the following problem and I hope you can help me with it:

I create 2D scatter plots from a text file, which works fine. But now I want
to retrieve additional information about a specific data point. For example,
I plot the weights of different design alternatives against the production
costs. Now I want to know the number of the design with the lowest costs and
the highest weight. Plotting the design numbers as labels is not really an
option, because their are to many points which makes the labels unreadable. 

I thought that it might be possible to retrieve data from a point by moving
the mouse over that point. But I'm not sure if that is possible at all. If
not or if you have other ideas, pleas let me know!

Thanks for your help.

Regards, 

Anton
