URL in Legend in PNG should be clickable

asked Oct 24, 2013 in Wanted features by valexiev (1,220 points)

URLs in Legends (and Notes) are clickable in SVG, eg see the bottom of this diagram.

URLs of whole nodes are clickable in SVG and PNG.

But URLs in Legends in PNG are not clickable, eg see this form (top left node is clickable, link in legend on the bottom is not).

It would be nice to compute URL areas in Legend & Note and add them to the imagemap.

A related minor request: make the URLs underlined, rather than having to use a <u> tag around the link

Re: underlining links, you can now do that manually; for example,

  node dbserver {
    database "DB" {
      [<u><font color=blue>App</font></u>] as APP
    }
  }
 url of APP is [[http://google.com]]

This is patched in the following beta, and should work:

About automatically underlining of URL, we will study what can be done.

Tested, it makes a box for the Diagram link in .cmapx. Nice! :-)

I'm not sure why, I also tested with -thtml and got this exception:
