- FYI: this is a lot easier in the next Plexus (2.2 coming soon). You just
- create a file that describes your image, you can use a combination of
- bitmasks and rectangles to set all the hot spots. Hopefully, I'll have
- time at some point to write an X based app that pops up your image and
- lets you set all the hot spots then writes out all the necessary data.
- e.g., Here is all the data you have to generate for the space walk demo:
- walk default server/walk/default.html
- walk bitmask server/walk/astronaut.mask 106 110 server/walk/astronaut.html
- walk bitmask server/walk/camera.mask 106 110 server/walk/camera.html
- walk bitmask server/walk/earth.mask 106 110 server/walk/earth.html
- walk bitmask server/walk/pack.mask 106 110 server/walk/pack.html
- walk rect 0 0 106 110 server/walk/space.html

- Look at the FIGA stuff in HTML+. I think we've pretty well established
- that both are desirable. ISMAP just happens to be the best solution
- for existing browsers.
