Class TreeTips

This object allows you to set location-dependent tooltips on a TreeView. Connect your TreeView's leave-notify-event to the hide method. In your motion-notify-event handler, call prime when the pointer moves to an area with a new message. The message will be shown after a delay. If calculation of the message is expensive, override get_tooltip_text instead.
