 This document describes various important UI elements which are provided by the standard World of Warcraft FrameXML UI.
-== Tooltips ==
-=== GameTooltip ===
-This is the game's tooltip, it consists of a number of lines, to determine how many there are, you can call the [[API GameToolTip NumLines|GameTooltip:NumLines()]] function.
-=== GameTooltipTextLeft<i>&lt;num&gt;</i> ===
-Each line of text from the game tooltip is represented by one of these objects, replace &lt;num&gt; with the appropriate line number (from 1 to the number of lines returned from GameTooltip:NumLines()). To obtain the text of a line call the [[API FontString GetText|GameTooltipTextLeft<i>&lt;num&gt;</i>:GetText()]] function.
-==== Example: Looping through all tooltip lines ====
- for i, GameTooltip:NumLines() do
-    local mytext = getglobal("GameTooltipTextLeft" .. i)
-    local text = mytext:GetText()
- end
-==== Notes ====
-The tooltip displayed when the mouse is hovering over players and/or NPCs on the minimap is such that all the units being displayed are actually only on the first tooltip line.  So, if the tooltip showed 4 players, the names are all in the first tootip line, delimited by "\n".
-=== GameTooltipTextRight<i>&lt;num&gt;</i> ===
-Some tooltips have both left- and right-aligned sections. In order to get at the right-aligned section, use one of these objects instead of a GameTooltipTextLeft. Otherwise, the functionality is identical.
