Start with a simple plot:
(1) ListLinePlot[{{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}}] (We get the expected result.)
Now just add tooltips to the two points of the curve:
(2) ListLinePlot[{{Tooltip[{1, 1}], Tooltip[{2, 2}]}}] (A pair of
axes are drawn but no curve.)
Next add a third point to the list, also with Tooltip:
(3) ListLinePlot[{{Tooltip[{1, 1}], Tooltip[{2, 2}],
Tooltip[{3, 2.5}]}}] (Now we get the curve drawn correctly.)
Next take (1) and add a second curve:
(4) ListLinePlot[{{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}, {{1, 1.5}, {2, 2.5}}}] (We get
both curves drawn as expected.)
Next add Tooltips to the points on the second curve:
(5) ListLinePlot[{{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}, {Tooltip[{1, 1.5}],
Tooltip[{2, 2.5}]}}] (Neither curve is drawn.)
In these examples, whenever we have a curve with exactly two points
and Tooltips (see (2) and (5)), ListLinePlot does not draw the curves.
Removing the Tooltips (see (1) and (4)) or just adding a third point
(see (3)) restores the drawing of the curves. Can anyone explain why?
