Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki diagram linking - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

Thanks Sergiu ... I'll try that.

Would be a great feature to have in XWiki to have a plugin that enables you
to import an image and add hot spots to
link out to other wiki pages. Not sure how that could be done though.

Regards,

Richard

  Hi,

 Does anyone know if its possible in XWiki to create a diagram (e.g. UML
 diagram, organisational diagram, etc) where you can click on a box or some
 text on the diagram and go to the relevant wiki page and maybe from that
 page back to its associated diagram? This would be quite useful for
 navigating from a diagram to its underlying references. 
Not yet, at least not as an official feature.

But you can use HTML tricks to do that: make a png image with an 
imagemap, on which you can define areas and their links. The problem is 
that you will either have to define the map yourself, or hope that your 
UML tool can do that for you.

Another option is to export the image as SVG, which has tags for links, 
then edit the SVG and add the links. The only problem is that SVG is not 
supported natively by IE.
