The behavior of contour plots has changed in Version 7 and the documentation
has not caught up with it. (The Help pages have tooltips because they never
reevaluated the statements!)

Tooltips are no longer automatically generated. The solution is to add the
option ContourLabels -> Automatic to your contour plot statements.

ContourPlot[x y, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
 ContourLabels -> Automatic]

This should also work for ListContourPlot (but I haven't tried it.)

Dear all,

With 6.0-6.0.3 ListContourPlot[] added a Tooltip[] arround every
generated contourlines.
With 7.0 this feature seems to have passed away.
strangely all the ready ListContourPlot[] examples in 7.0 help still
have the Tooltip[] but when you reevaluate them inside the help,Tooltip
[] vanishes.

As I am extracting specific contourlines form a final ListContourPlot
[] I am heavily relying on the Tooltip[] on every generated
contourline.

Any hints how to reactivate it ?

thx a lot

Robert Nowak
