What is mapedit?
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
mapedit is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor for
|
|
imagemap files.
|
|
|
|
Imagemap files are a feature of both NCSA and CERN httpd servers;
|
|
they allow you to turn a GIF into a clickable map by designating
|
|
polygons, circles and rectangles within the GIF and specifying a
|
|
URL for each to link to.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, creating good image maps by hand is a lot of work,
|
|
because the points must be located using an editor not explicitly
|
|
designed for the purpose.
|
|
|
|
mapedit allows you to load your GIF image into a scrollable,
|
|
resizable window and then draw polygons, circles and rectangles on
|
|
top of it, specifying a URL for each. It also allows you to go back
|
|
and delete these "hot spots", set a default URL for clicks outside
|
|
of the "hot" areas, and so on. In addition, it allows you to
|
|
associate comments of arbitrary length with each object if you have
|
|
a server that accepts the NCSA imagemap format.
|
|
|
|
Please take a look at the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mapedit/mapedit.html
|
|
for full usage documentation.
