The tool Map Tooltip can be used to display hyperlinks on features. Hyperlinks are generally photos or text that can be displayed when the cursor hangs on the relative features.
- Create a new attribute field (string) and call it, for instance FOLDER
- In this FOLDER field, for each feature, write the drive address or the HTML address of the files.
- This is the basic syntax:
- File path with drive: img src="file:///c:/images/test.jpg"
- File path without drive: img src="file://localhost/FOLDER/YY.jpg"
- Web: img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif"
- To limit the size of images, you can include the height and width limits:
<img width=276 height=110 src="http:/XXX/YY.gif">
.
You can use your HTML browser to open the files and copy the address (CTRL + C). Then paste the address (CTRL+V) between the double quotes.
By the time that the cursor hangs over the relative feature, if Map Tooltip is enable, a window opens with the relative photo or text. A correct size for photo or text will not be more than 600x350 in dimension
You can use as Hyperlink documents Raster image files (JPG, PNG, TIF, etc) and HTML documents
