Arguments

(owner, "Anchor"[, +x, +y])

owner

Frame - Owner frame, which defines the element where the tooltip is centered on. A pointer to the frame is required, not the frame name itself (use getglobal() to get the pointer from the frame name).

anchor

String - a string that describes the anchor point as it would be set via the SetPoint() function. Anchoring meathods as follows:

ANCHOR_TOPRIGHT ------- SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",object,"TOPRIGHT")

ANCHOR_RIGHT ------- SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT",object,"TOPRIGHT")

ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT ------- SetPoint("TOPLEFT",object,"BOTTOMRIGHT")

ANCHOR_TOPLEFT ------- SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT",object,"TOPLEFT")

ANCHOR_LEFT ------- SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",object,"TOPLEFT")

ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT ------- SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",object,"BOTTOMLEFT")

ANCHOR_CURSOR

ANCHOR_PRESERVE

You can also move the tooltip by x or y, where positive x is to the right and positive y is up. Thus, negative x is to the left and negative y is down. Doesn't work if anchor is ANCHOR_CURSOR.
