Module KeplerLinks allows the setting of hypertext links between text documents and Kepler graphics.
Links from texts to graphics
These links go from a link element (
) in the text to a target (i.e., a constellation) in Kepler. To insert this kind of link, set the caret to the desired starting point of the link in the text, select the constellation that should become the target, and invoke the command
KeplerLinks.TextToGraphics
(Do not forget to store both documents so that the link becomes permanent.)
A middle click at the link element will open the respective Kepler viewer and select the target constellation. A middle-right click at the link element will show the data of the link (file name and unique target number) in a viewer for editing.
Links from graphics to texts
These links go from a Kepler button to a mark element (
) in some text. To insert this kind of link, set two focus points in Kepler designating the position of the button, select an existing mark element (or just any target position) in the text, and invoke the command
KeplerLinks.GraphicsToText
Note that a Kepler button is invisible. It is simply a sensitive area on the screen that can be overlayed to some figure or string. A middle click at this area will open a text viewer and select the respective target element. A middle-right click at the button will print its contents to the Log viewer.
In order to use KeplerLinks you also need the modules LinkElems, MarkElems and PopupElems.
