Question

I want to put a link to a document in an image I have in matlab. I have a specific region I want to put the link. For example I want there to be link in the image at position x = 40, y = 120 with the address of the document. Something similar to this below, I know this is not proper matlab code.

text(40,120, '<a href="C:\Documents and Settings\Sentinelle\Desktop\LCModel\sl5_knt1\sl5_11-6.pdf"; ">Click here for plot documentation</a>')

Is this possible to do do? I want to be able to use imshow() or imtool() and be able to click on the region of the image and see the document.

Answer 1

You can set the 'ButtonDownFcn' text property to open the given document using the function OPEN:

filePath = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Sentinelle\Desktop\LCModel\sl5_knt1\sl5_11-6.pdf';
text(40,120,'Click here for plot documentation',...
     'ButtonDownFcn',['open(''' filePath ''');']);
