Tooltip¶

Floating overlay with anchor positioning, escape-to-dismiss, and background compositing. Implements Component, Themed, and FloatingOverlay.

Construction¶

func NewTooltip(opts TooltipOpts) *Tooltip

Types¶

type TooltipOpts struct {
    Text     string // Tooltip content
    MaxWidth int    // Maximum width (default 40)
}

Usage¶

tip := blit.NewTooltip(blit.TooltipOpts{
    Text:     "Press Enter to confirm your selection",
    MaxWidth: 50,
})

// Position and show
tip.SetAnchor(10, 5)
tip.Show()

Floating Overlay¶

Tooltip implements FloatingOverlay, meaning it composites over background content rather than replacing it:

// Render composited over the main view
output := tip.FloatView(backgroundContent)

Use View() for standalone rendering or FloatView(background) to overlay on existing content.
