#4 hyperref links in text don't work

[Bob Tennent]

I'm trying to use hyperref.sty to make node text into a hyperlink. This doesn't seem to work. For an example of what I'm trying to do, check out

http://www.cs.queensu.ca/undergraduate/COMP.pdf

I can do everything here using pgf/tikz except the hyperlinks.

Small example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=5.8pt,y=5.8pt,semithick]
\tikzstyle{every rectangle node}=[draw,inner sep=1.8pt]
\node(121) at (10,10) {\href{http://www.cs.queensu.ca/undergraduate/courses/121.html}{CISC 121}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Further information on this: it seems to arise only with pdf(la)tex, and not with, for example,
dvips -> ps2pdf. Unfortunately, use with pdf(la)tex is one of the main motivations for pgf.

This means nothing to me but may be meaningful to pgf developers.

Hi!

fixed. Except when rotation and scaling on the text (not its position) is
used.

Best regards,
