WebMap 2.0b8
WebMap reads GIF and PICT files, and allows you to draw out the various
graphic primitives (rectangle, circle, oval, polygon and point) that represent the hot
areas on an html image map. WebMap supports both the CERN and NCSA imagemap
formats, and allows you to create your own formats.
To use WebMap, open an image file, and draw the graphic primitives over the areas
of the image that should be clickable in an html browser (Netscape, Mosaic, etc.), set
the URL for each object, and export the marker definitions into a .map file.
Missing Features:
• Can’t read JPEG files.
• Import from Text… is disabled.
• Help is far from complete.
Known bugs:
• The 1-pixel border around the URL list in the URL Editor dialog fails
to draw sometimes.
• The Marker report (Print... from the File menu) is not particularly
attractive at this point.
Using WebMap:
Using WebMap is fairly straightforward. It allows you to draw rectangles,
circles, ovals, polygons and points, move them (1 or more at a time),
and resize them.
Click on an object to edit it’s Comments and URL in the fields at the top
of the window.
Undo is supported for creating, deleting, moving and resizing objects
when you use the mouse (not the keyboard).
Below is a description of how to tweak the objects with the keyboard.
