Interaction used in FLOWchart which is typeset with the \placefigure mechanism
Hi Hans, I got a couple of FLOWcharts, which are typeset with the \placefigure mechanism. The charts as such come out nicely as expected. However the charts also contain links to other parts of the document (\goto{text}[ref.]). - After placement of the charts there are still interactive spots, but these hot spots do not correspond with the text they belong to. Is it that I ask the impossible i.e. that there can't be interaction once the \placefigure mechanism is used or is there a similar problem as with the \placeformula (beforeyesterdays thread)? Thanks for looking into it. Willli

Can you make me an example? It should work ok in floats Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans

Of course I can provide you with an example file. There are two FLOWcharts in two buffers, typeset with the \placefigure mechanism. Both contain references. There is a third FLOWchart which is typeset as a native chart. As to be expected the nativ chart works correctly: \goto and \destination... I checked the manual and found there a footnote, that the interaction only functions while charts are not scaled - this of course would explain the behaviour of the charts in the buffers??? Kind regards Willi

Ah, you cannot scale hyperlinks (well, if i ever run into time, i can giv eit a try, rather tricky) since they end up in a different layer in the pdf file (annotation space); actually this is a kind of design flaw: annotations not being part of the text flow, but hard coded areas; this is also one reason why zooming in on them (or positioning the cursor on them) is nearly impossible. solution: {\switchtobodytont[small]\getbuffer} which is also more consistent (not ending up with hundreds of differently scaled fonts) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
