Interactive Embedded Page Drawings
This hack will, on page view, attempt to convert any drawing images into interactive embedded drawing viewers so that you’ll be able to pan & zoom around the drawings while also being able to interact with things like links within the drawings.
Considerations
- The drawings are loaded via the external “https://viewer.diagrams.net” site/service, and therefore this relies on that service being accessible from the browser, and drawing data is sent to that domain/location.
- This hack will dynamically alter the
ALLOWED_IFRAME_SOURCES
option to allow the needed embedded viewers. - The embedded viewers will take up more space than the original drawing, as extra room is needed for the viewer toolbar/UI. This may result in extra page movement/jumping on page load.
- While this has been tested with some drawings, this isn’t built on public/strong standards & APIs so there may be cases where this does not work, and there’s no assurance this will continue to work in the future.
Usage
After setup of the required hack files, this should automatically convert drawings when viewing a page.
