i was considering linking to reports, publications, photoes, videos from the maps. this would link these other resources to the map, allowing the user to jump from the map to a report or a video and so on. i would rather have iconic refs in the pdf (the "usual" file, picture, video icons). links could be turned off (to preapare maps for publications, with a symbol-hide command. not sure whether link should be a property of label/remark i use these for the lettering (eg. pit depths). maybe there are uses i do not foresee. yes urls should be absolute or relative. i do not now how pdf handles urls. probably the smart people at adobe already thought about this issue. marco ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce <bruce@tomo.co.nz> To: 'List for Therion users' <therion@speleo.sk> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 3:18 AM Subject: Re: [Therion] hyperlink point
what about a hyperlink point ?
point x y link -url "..."
to point to external resources from the pdf maps.
Thanks Marco Users of our maps have been asking for this over here. Needs to be able to point to absolute and relative paths as well as urls. Perhaps -link or -url is just another property of point label, line label and point remark? After all, a point link is going to need similar properties to labels (-align -text -scale, so -link or -url is just one more). It would be nice if the link had an indicator that is visible on screen, but not visible in the printed pdf. Or maybe it is another property? -underline [on off] #default on for links and default off otherwise??
