Can anyone recommend me any tool which makes the procedure of selecting imagemap's coordinates convenient? I'm having difficulty selecting coordinates for a circle, like I want to have a circle an area of xx,xx pixel with a radius of xx. So the radius part is inconvenient. Because I cannot ensure whether the circle is exactly of the radius what I would like. I'm using MS Paint .

I would be grateful if that tool/software is freeware.

For (X)HTML , I believe the code is

1. <map

2. name="label" id="label"> where label is the name of the map or image

3. <area to define the first clickable area

4. alt="info" where info describes what will happen when the victim clicks

5. shape="type" where type represents the areas shape, use rect for rectangle, circlr for a circle and poly for irregular shapes

6. coords="x, y, r where x and y represent the center of the circle and r is the radius

7. href="url.html"
or
="noref" if clicking should have no result

8. target="name" where name is the name of the window where the page should appear

9. accesskey="x" to add a keyboard shortcut

10. /> to complete the clickable area

11. Repeat 3-11 for each area

12. </map(image) to complete

13. <img src="image.gif" or whatever the image is

14. add image attributes , including alt

15. usemap="#label" where label is image in step 2

16. /> for the image.


and thats the (X)HTML way

For photoshop use the elipsis tool, draw the circle and then manually enter the size you want and then use the guides to place it.
