Use of a label as an HTML link

[Alex van der Spek]

Has anyone experience with using a label in gnuplot as an HTML link?

For instance

gnuplot>>> set label 0 "This is where a link refers to." at 0.5,0.5
gnuplot>>> set label 1 "<p><a name=LinkHere></a></p>" at 0.5,0.5 texcolor
'backgroundcolor'

Obviously this makes sense if the output terminal is SVG or HTML and that
output graph is embedded in a master HTML document that links to these
labels. Label 0 is displayed, label 1 is set at the same position but
becomes invisible as the textcolor is equal to the backgroundcolor.

Any experience most welcome. Haven't tried this myself yet.

For SVG, the graph and the individual plots within the graph already
have anchoring identifiers.
<g id="running_avg_1_plot_1" ><title>running_avg_1_plot_1</title>
These are used, for example, to toggle the individual plots on/off
interactively by mousing.

For a related application that has not yet been added to CVS,
have a look at the demo for Patch 3510881
