Code

The same example in each framework; pick one once and every example on the site follows it.

tsx

import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/react/ui/tooltip';

<SpTooltip
  text="Drawn on the ground's own frame" // the trigger's accessible description
  trigger={<button type="button">Hover or focus me</button>}
  side="top"
  delay={300}
/>

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/vue/ui/tooltip';
</script>

<template>
  <SpTooltip text="Drawn on the ground's own frame" side="top" :delay="300">
    <template #trigger><button type="button">Hover or focus me</button></template>
  </SpTooltip>
</template>

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { SpTrigger } from '@silverpoint/angular/ui';
import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/angular/ui/tooltip';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-hint',
  imports: [SpTooltip, SpTrigger],
  template: `
    <sp-tooltip text="Drawn on the ground's own frame" side="top" [delay]="300">
      <button type="button" spTrigger>Hover or focus me</button>
    </sp-tooltip>
  `,
})
export class Hint {}

python

sp_tooltip("Hover or focus me", "Drawn on the ground's own frame", side="top", delay=300)

Import

Import @silverpoint/grounds/ui.css once, beside styles.css; Reflex adds it for you. Every adapter also exports it from the ui barrel.

Framework	Import
React	`import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/react/ui/tooltip';`
Vue	`import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/vue/ui/tooltip';`
Angular	`import { SpTooltip } from '@silverpoint/angular/ui/tooltip';` · `sp-tooltip`
Reflex	`from reflex_silverpoint_react import sp_tooltip`

Events, values and slots

Each framework's own way. A change carries the new value itself (a key, a page, a number, a bool), never a DOM event.

	React	Vue	Angular	Reflex
Trigger	`trigger={<button …/>} (required)`	`#trigger slot`	`a projected element with spTrigger`	`trigger= (a string or sp_trigger)`
Open state	`open + onOpenChange, or defaultOpen`	`v-model:open, or default-open`	`[(open)], or [defaultOpen]`	`open + on_open_change, or default_open`

Props

React / Angular	Vue	Type	Description
`text` required	`text`	`string`	The tooltip, the trigger's accessible description.
`side`	`side`	`'top' \| 'end' \| 'bottom' \| 'start'`	Default `'top'`.
`align`	`align`	`'start' \| 'center' \| 'end'`	Default `'center'`.
`offset`	`offset`	`number`	Default `6`.
`delay`	`delay`	`number`	Default `300` ms.

In Reflex the names are snake_case; the Reflex column of Composed components shows the builder's arguments.

Common props

Every UI component also takes these, falling back to the dashboard it sits in, then to the provider. In Reflex they read silverpoint_provider too; only sp_trigger does not: pass them to it.

React / Angular	Vue	Reflex	Type	Description
`id`	`id`	`id`	`str`	The frame variant and every related id derive from it.
`ground`	`ground`	`ground`	`Literal['silverpoint', 'cyanotype'] \| str \| dict[str, Any]`	Style ground: "silverpoint" or "cyanotype", or a ground object. Defaults to the dashboard's, then the provider's, or silverpoint.
`substrate`	`substrate`	`substrate`	`Literal['cream', 'green', 'blue', 'ochre', 'prussian']`	Prepared substrate within the ground.
`mode`	`mode`	`mode`	`Literal['ink', 'precision']`	ink by default; precision disables inking.
`seed`	`seed`	`seed`	`str \| int`	Seed of the frame's hand; overrides id for the frame variant only.
`size`	`size`	`size`	`Literal['sm', 'md', 'lg']`	Control size: sm, md (default) or lg.
`palette`	`palette`	`palette`	`dict[str, str]`	Colours over the ground's (set with palette=), merged over the dashboard's and the provider's.
`className`	`class-name`	`class_name`	`str`	Added to the component's root element, after its own classes.
`palette`	`palette`	`palette`	`Palette`	Colours over the ground's, merged over the dashboard's and the provider's.
