Umm, Neopaint! <G>
I have made several imagemaps by hand with the aide of paint programs
like Neopaint. (Even making the actual image in there too...) I just
hover the mouse over the point I want to see, and look in the corner
for its coordinate.
Its not difficult.
<img src="imgmap.gif" height=yyy width=xxx border=0 alt="Image Map!"
usemap="#imgmap">
<map name=imgmap>
<area shape=rect coords="x1,y1,x2,y2" href="shape1.htm" alt="Shape 1">
<area shape=circle coords="xc,yc,rc" href="circle.htm" alt=Circle">
<area shape=poly coords="X1,Y1,X2,Y2,X3,Y3" href="polygon.htm" alt="Polygon">
<area shape=default href="others.htm" alt="Outside">
</map>
Where x1,y1,x2,y2 are the topleft and bottom-right coordinates of the
image; xc,yc are the coordinates of the centre of the circle and rc
is the radius of it; X1,Y1,X2,Y2,...,Xn,Yn are the coordinates of the
polygon (the enclosed area is the clickable area); the default is
where the link goes while not in any space.
You are supposed to put the <img ...> tag in a link to a CGI script
to make it double as a server-side imagemap <img ... ismap>, but this
isn't necessary anymore. :)
You don't have to use eg #imgmap or imgmap.gif but I think you'll
know what you can do with those href's and alt's etc.
PS: The top-left pixel is (0,0) just so you'll know.
PPS: The new Arachne Webring code is an imagemap, the image is a 2714
byte 201x131 GIF. The code is at
