WebMap reads GIF and PICT files, and allows you to draw out the various
graphic primitives (rectangle, circle, and polygon) that represent the hot
areas on an html image map. WebMap supports both the CERN and NCSA imagemap
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 (Mosaic, etc.), set
the URL for each object, and export the marker definitions into a .map file.
Using WebMap is fairly straightforward. It allows you to draw rectangles,
circles, and polygons, move them (1 or more at a time), and resize them.
Option-click on an object to edit it╒s URL (I will get double clicking going
as soon as possible).
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.
Keyboard control of objects:
Resizing:
Modifier Key(s) = Command Command-Control
Left Arrow Shrinks Horizontally 1 Pixel Shrinks Horizontally 10 Pixels
Up Arrow Shrinks Vertically 1 Pixel Shrinks Vertically 10 Pixels
Right Arrow Grows Horizontally 1 Pixel Grows Horizontally 10 Pixels
Down Arrow Grows Vertically 1 Pixel Grows Vertically 10 Pixels
Moving:
Modifier Key(s) = None Control
Left Arrow Moves Left 1 Pixel Moves Left 10 Pixels
Up Arrow Moves Up 1 Pixel Moves Up 10 Pixels
Right Arrow Moves Right 1 Pixel Moves Right 10 Pixels
Down Arrow Moves Down 1 Pixel Moves Down 10 Pixel s
*NOTE: At this time, you cannot resize or reshape polygons. If the polygon is not
drawn right, you must delete it and draw it again. Sorry about that, but it may
change in the future.
List Pane:
On the right hand side of the window, there is a list of URL╒s, 1 for each object.
Just double click an item, or select the item and type ╘return╒ to edit the URL.
See WebMap╒s online help for more information on using WebMap, and on the NCSA
and CERN .map file formats.

WebMap does not open a new window when the applicatio is first run (unless you
launched it by opening a document form the finder, of course).
