Request for (x,y,e) readback from graph on mouse over

[smk78]

"When we plot a graph, it is possible with the cursor to point on a curve to have access to the (x,y) coordinate of a point? I think it is very useful to have a rapid information of the intensity level at a q value."

Response by SMK for SasView Developers, 14/05/13:

"As far as I know this is not possible at the moment, but I agree it would be a nice feature. The best SasView can offer is if you right-click on ANY data point and move down the context menu to the name of the data set you are interested in, then follow the chevron to DataInfo. A window will pop-up and if you scroll down you will get a listing of all the (x,y,e) values for that data set. I will ticket the feature you ask for (but at this juncture I do not know how feasible it may be or how quickly it will be implemented)."

Clicking anywhere on the graph currently puts the coordinates in the status bar area. It would probably be better to have this functionality such that information is printed in the graph window somewhere.

More importantly for 2D plots the intensity is NOT accessible since x and y both are now co-ordinate values.
