Linking and Intelligent Graphics
Arbortext Editor enables you to create the following types of links with intelligent graphics:
• Linking from text in a document to an intelligent graphic.
In this case, you can also configure the link to initiate an action in the intelligent graphic. You can initiate the following types of actions:
◦ Highlight a selected object in the graphic.
◦ Start an animation or a sequence of steps in the graphic.
You can link to a specific step in a sequence.
Sequences are supported in PVZ graphics.
◦ Switch the display of the graphic to a specific view of the graphic.
A view is a predefined look for an intelligent graphic that is stored within the graphic.
• Linking from an intelligent graphic to a target in the text of a document.
You can associate links with specific objects inside of an intelligent graphic and have these links activate when a user clicks on that object in the graphic.
For Arbortext IsoView, when a link is associated with an object in an intelligent graphic, the associated object flashes briefly when the cursor moves across that object in the Arbortext IsoView control.
• Linking from an intelligent graphic to another intelligent graphic.
You can also configure this type of link to initiate an action in the target intelligent graphic.
• Linking from an intelligent graphic to a web page.
Links that initiate an action and links from an intelligent graphic are only supported for HTML output. When you publish a document to HTML with intelligent graphics included, these types of links are preserved during the publishing process.
