Probably. You have that Enable(False) call in there. However, I notice 
from the docs that wx.ToolTip.Enable() is a "global" call -- it doesn't 
just enable or disable that particular tooltip. I can't say I really 
understand what that means, though.

Well, it seems to work OK for all the next tips.

I think it does. I think GTK and MSW get about equal usage, with wxMac a 
very distant third.
(and this is working very poorly on Mac)
Some things work better on Windows, some on GTK. In this case, I thihk 
we're bumping into cross-platfrom issues. wx tries to use native 
functionality where it can and that does make for differences.
I'm going to take this discussion over to wxpython-users -- are you on 
that list too?

Im graphing temperature over time. I would like to have the C scale on the
left side, and the F scale on the other with 0 on the C scale being equal to
32 on the F scale. I can get both scales on the graph, but can't get them to
line up with 0 = 32. 
Thanks for the help.

That initial tooltip never shows up for me, which I think is the correct 
behaviour, so I just put whatever in there to make it a really long line 
to get around the wx bug.

Cool. Yeah, I don't think wx gets as much testing on GTK as it does on 
Windows.

And here's yet another refinement. Works around a wx bug (see 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython/37937/match=tooltip) 
that prevents newlines from being recognized in the tooltip string. 
Also, disables the tooltip when the mouse moves off of the axes, which 
prevents stray tooltips from hanging around.
