It also allows you to go back +and delete these "hot spots", set a default URL for clicks outside +of the "hot" areas, and so on. In addition, it allows you to +associate comments of arbitrary length with each object if you have +a server that accepts the NCSA imagemap format. + +Please take a look at the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/mapedit/mapedit.html +for full usage documentation. |
