Hi Tyler,

Yes you can modify the data tip of a figure generated with imagesc using the .DataTipTemplate property.

You may modify the following code to use DataTipTemplate property.

C = [0 2 4 6; 8 10 12 14; 16 18 20 22];
clims = [4 18];
i = imagesc(C,clims); % scaled color image object in variable 'i'
d = datatip(i,2,2); % by this data tip show up in image
% without using the above line it will show up the error.
c = i.DataTipTemplate(); % DataTipTemplate is used as function
c = 

  DataTipTemplate with properties:

    DataTipRows: [1×3 matlab.graphics.datatip.DataTipTextRow]
    Interpreter: 'tex'
       FontSize: 10
      FontAngle: 'normal'
       FontName: 'Helvetica'

Hope this Helps!

Great, thanks!

Didn't realize I needed to call datatip() prior to. Didn't appear needed for scatter() & plot() which is why I was getting tripped up.
