PS_ADD_LAUNCHLINK(3)

💖 PS_ADD_LAUNCHLINK 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the PS_ADD_LAUNCHLINK(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — yes it's a section 3 joint, we're in library-land now, get comfy ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

PS_add_launchlink — adds a link which launches a file 🚀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_add_launchlink(PSDoc *psdoc, float llx, float lly, float urx,
float ury, char *filename)

like. that's the whole signature. six args. she's not complicated, she just knows what she wants 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what this does is: it places a hyperlink at the position you give it, and that link points to a file program which is being started when clicked on. so click the thing → the file launches. main character behavior fr fr 👑

The hyperlink start is a rectangle, and the corners are yours to place:

• lower left corner sits at (llx, lly)
• upper right corner sits at (urx, ury)

and the rectangle has, by default, a thin blue border. cute, subtle, iconic 🩵

⚠️ okay listen: the hyperlink will not be visible if the document is printed or viewed. but — and this is the plot twist — it will show up if the document is converted to pdf by either Acrobat Distiller™ or Ghostview. so don't panic if you can't see it, it's just living its invisible era until the pdf conversion hits 🙈✨
