Makie Poly Tooltips issue

General Usage
1

I can’t seem to get makie tooltips working for Poly objects. Here is a MWE

using GLMakie
using GLMakie.Makie.GeometryBasics


f = Figure()
Axis(f[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect())

# shape decomposition with custom tooltip
poly!(Circle(Point2f(0, 0), 15f0), 
    color = :pink,
    inspectable = true,
    inspector_label = (self, idx, pos) -> "Custom tooltip: Circle at origin with radius 15"
)

DataInspector(f)
f

As you can see when I hover over the circle - I simply see the default bounding box label and not my custom label specified with inspector_label. Any ideas on how to fix this?

What does seem to work is providing an inspector_hover method

using GLMakie
using GLMakie.Makie.GeometryBasics
using GLMakie.Makie: update_tooltip_alignment!, DataInspector

f = Figure()
Axis(f[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect())

# shape decomposition with custom tooltip using inspector_hover
p = poly!(Circle(Point2f(0, 0), 15f0), 
    color = :pink,
    inspectable = true
)

# Set custom inspector_hover callback
p.inspector_hover[] = (inspector, plot, index, primitive) -> begin
    println("Inspector hover called! index=$index")
    
    text = "Custom tooltip: Circle at origin with radius 15"
    proj_pos = Point2f(Makie.mouseposition_px(inspector.root))
    update_tooltip_alignment!(inspector, proj_pos; text=text)
    
    return true
end

DataInspector(f)
f

Now I get what I expected (see image below). I’m not sure if this is a bug or if my usage is off

This is fixed in: DataInspector rework by ffreyer · Pull Request #5241 · MakieOrg/Makie.jl · GitHub
Note that the PR is breaking:

f = Figure()
ax = Axis(f[1, 1], aspect = DataAspect())

# shape decomposition with custom tooltip
poly!(Circle(Point2f(0, 0), 15f0), 
    color = :pink,
    inspectable = true,
    inspector_label = (plotelem, pos) -> "Custom tooltip: Circle at origin with radius 15"
)

DataInspector(ax) # needs to be ax now
f

Cool - thanks
