Datatips does not work with rectangle

Hi there,

I am trying to highlight a specific area of my plots. I use a rectangle to do this. After drawing the rectangle, the datatips do not work in the area of the rectangle.

My Code:

plot(filtered_CN0.Var1,filtered_CN0.Var9,'DisplayName',string(unique_satID(j)));
rectangle('Position',[epvt_csv_table.tow(areaStarts(i)), 0, epvt_csv_table.tow(areaEnds(i)) - epvt_csv_table.tow(areaStarts(i)), 50],'FaceColor', [0.6350 0.0780 0.1840 0.2]')

Also, plotting the rectangle first and then plotting the data does not work. Is there a better way to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help.

figure()
%Draw the rectangle first
rectangle('Position',[3 3 3 3],'FaceColor',[1 0 0]);

%hold on - to add the plot to the same figure on top of the rectangle
hold on

%Then plot the curve
plot(1:10); % Plots the line
