mouse cursor text placement

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

There is a good deal of flexibility for specifying the format of the 
mouse cursor read-out. This is excellent.

However, I don't see a means of determining its placement in relation to 
the cursor cross-hairs.  This is limiting since if we need to use the 
cursor click to paste cursor read-out on a graph, this does not work 
well for a trough in the data.

The text ends up obscuring the graph exactly at the point we are trying 
draw attention to.

It would be useful , as well as specifying the content and numeric 
format ( which is powerful ) to be able to at least say which quadrant 
of the cross-hairs to align to. A more general method may be worth 
considering.

Ideally we need to place the cross-hair on the line ( to get correct 
cursor values ) but ensure the text is below, in the case of a trough , 
not above and thus on top of the plotted line.

A simple  clockwise quadrant could be specified, default being existing 
Q1.  Q2 would be underneath, left-justified ; Q3 under, right-justified 
, etc.

This would make this excellent feature more generally applicable.
