General ⇒ Image as Hyperlink to URL

[dorian]

Hi,

I would like to link an image, displayed within the figure environment to a web page. So one could click on the image in the PDF to visit a certain web page. So far, i couldn't figure out how to do this with the standard \href command.

Thanks for any help!

This should work without any problems. See the below example and the rendered output.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
  
  \begin{figure}
    \href{http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pachydyptes_ponderosus.jpg}
         {\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{picture}}
    \caption{A reconstruction of New Zealand Giant Penguins (\emph{pachydyptes ponderosus}) by 
      F.~W.~Kuhnert (1865--1926). Click on the image to visit the page on Wikimedia Commons where it 
      was downloaded from.}
  \end{figure}
  
\end{document}
