Is there a way to create hotspots in my PDF documents over irregular shapes like pie chart sections?
JFreeChart puts tooltips and hyperlinks over pie chart slices using Java mouse events and HTML imagemaps. The areas can be described as arcs (boundingbox, angle1, angle2) or as imagemap area tags like.... <area shape="poly" coords="634,489,644,482,656,478,667,475,680,474,680,551,680,551" title="Q1: (3, 10%)" alt="" href="linkThis.jsp?category=Sales%2FQ5&amp;pieIndex=4"/> ...which come from a java.awt.geom.PathIterator over a java.awt.Shape (the pie section). I have found iText methods that add hotspots to text, images, and rectangles, especially Annotations in Chapter 15, but not for arbitrary polygons. I could add hotspots to the PDF at the same moment that JFreeChart is drawing to iText's Graphics2D object, or I could do some post-processing that iterates over all the hot areas after the chart is finished drawing. Thanks for any suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
