linkdatatips

Creates and maintains linked datatips in all plots as the user moves around the first plot

I often find myself trying to compare the results of different functions z=f(x,y), using datatips in the plots. This function provides a way of exploring results in one plot while observing values in the other plots as well. Linkdtatips works with plots formed by image, imagesc, mesh,meshc, pcolor, surf and surfc.

Added feature. To shift the primary datatip focus to the kth plot, call again as linkdatatips(hg(k))

Linkdatatips is compatible with linkaxes.

EXAMPLE:
z = peaks(50);
figure
h(1) = imagesc(z);
figure
subplot 121
h(2) = surf(z.^2);
subplot 122
h(3)=mesh(z+3);
linkdatatips(h);
