a Web Page - Adding an Image Map (page 1 of 2)
An imagemap is
an HTML feature that allows users to follow various links based on the location they
click on a bitmap. For this example, we'll use a map of Australia.
The first step
is to divide the picture into regions described by polygons and ellipses. This can
be done by hand, or using an html layout program such as Adobe Pagemill. He is our
map with regions of interest delineated by polygons:
The information
as to the area of each polygon on the bitmap picture, and what is to be linked to
should the user click in that region, goes into a file known as the imagemap file.
