More easily read coordinates

I remember seeing something on the Discord, about Steven wanting coordinates to be more easily read while dragging. From what I recall, he hacked his own, but I would like this too. See this example: Doenet

When it was just showing coordinates while dragging, the values were in gray and were hard to make out. Then I also needed to make it show more decimal places than it was naturally inclined to for some variations, so having a separate label made that possible. But even when I created a label to show the coordinates, the function frequently got in the way and made the values hard to read. I solved this by creating a white rectangle to go on top of the function but behind the label, and now I have an accessibility flag because of lack of contrast of the white rectangle against the white background, which is of course by design.

Did this feature ever get implemented, maybe as an attribute that can be elected?

Ah, found this! Add a mask attribute to <label> · Issue #362 · Doenet/DoenetML · GitHub

I think I’m asking what obstacles there are to finishing this. :slight_smile:

Is this related to my question about boxes around my labels on graphs?Strange Behavior with labels on graphs?

That’s right. The discussion on this got moved to this thread. If you set maskLabel="false", you will turn off those boxes. But, you can comment on that thread whether the default should be markLabel="false" (the old behavior) or maskLabel="true" (what the recent change started).
