Visual Imagemapper is a useful image map editor that is easy to use for the amateur, but still powerful enough for the professional developer.
An image map is an image that contains one or more clickable areas, also known as hotspots. Adding hotspots is both quick and easy when using Visual Imagemapper.
You no longer have to cut and paste incomprehensible html code between the image map tool and the html editor, because you can easily open an existing html file, from which you select an image file to work with.
Once you're done, you can save the code directly to the html file without changing the rest of the code in any way.
If you need to edit the html code manually, it can be done - and you may even preview the map with the built-in viewer or an external browser.
Here are some key features of "Visual Imagemapper":
· Existing Imagemaps - It's possible to load and save into an already existing image map.
· Edit Hotspots - The hotspots can be edited both in wysiwyg mode and text mode.
· Rotate hotspots - It is possible to rotate polygons and rectangles.
· Preview your imagemap - You can preview the document in both internal and external browser.
· Different Color - Set different color on each hotspot, this make it easier to work on document with many hotspots.
· Lock hotspots - Lock hotspots so it can't be moved or deleted by accident.
· Undo/Redo - Undo and Redo figure events in wysiwyg mode.
· Change hotspot - Possible to change hotspot type after the hotspot has been painted to the document.
· Zoom - Zoom to working document, from 25% to 500%.
· Save as CERN/NCSA - If saving the document as MAP, you could chose between CERN og NCSA file format.
· HTML document - When opening an html document, every picture in the file can be opened and worked with.
· Multiple Maps - Because of the tabbed interface, multiple image maps can be opened and worked with.
· Copy/Paste - Copy and Paste figures between all working documents.
· Clipboard - You can copy the MAP code directly to the clipboard without saving it to an file first.
