Bug Description
We need some sort of hyperlinking and some idea of
hyperlinking anchors.
Just imagine, it would be killer to be able to click on
an area and it zooms/pans you to another part of the
document...or to another document.
There is a stub for hyperlinking in the code:
src/object-ui.cpp: sp_anchor_
Here is the w3c page on linking in SVG 1.1:
http://
I'm thinking that hyperlinking to external web should
be pretty simple to implement, but I don't know about
linking in the document. I really though think that
being able to take some form of snapshot of the viewing
window, which would take the current zoom, and center
x/y position would be cool to make an anchor within a
docuement to click and be transported to different
sections of a document. This would be excellent in
BULIA's new MOUSE and KEYS help tutorial, as you could
click on an area and be transported to another area.
Simply, if we support fully hyperlinking, then the
anchor tag would support this, because depending on how
much code was between an <a> and </a> the current zoom
could be factored depening on the objects size inside
the <a> tag.

Yeah, I just read a little further on w3c's site. Check this
out:
MyDrawing. svg#svgView( viewBox( 0,200,1000, 1000))
That is exactly what I'm talking about as an anchor to
another section of the document. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
IMPLEMENTING THIS WILL MEAN FOR INKVIEW!!! It means you can
move around on a map, or large file without having to have
multiple files!!!! You could develop a presentation with
various levels of detail.
