I was going to suggest esstially the same solution.
pts = {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {0, 1}};
LocatorPane[Dynamic[pts],
Graphics[{Line[Dynamic[pts]], AbsolutePointSize[10],
Dynamic[Tooltip[Point[#], #] & /@ pts]}, PlotRange -> 2],
Appearance -> None]
Also, there is an undocumented CurrentValue token which lets you know which of m
ultiple LocatorPane thumbs you've grabbed. So an alternate solution is to
display the coordinates of the grabbed local elsewhere in the graphics, like so
(I got this tip from Lou D'Andria, our Manipulate guru):
pts={{0,0},{1,0},{0,1}};
i=1;
LocatorPane[
Dynamic[pts, (i = CurrentValue["CurrentLocatorPaneThumb"]; pts = #) &],
Graphics[{Line[Dynamic[pts]]}, PlotRange -> 2,
PlotLabel -> Dynamic[pts[[i]]]]]
