Creating an image map
An image map defines areas of an image (called hotspots) with
hyperlinks to web addresses, other files on the computer, or parts of
the same document. Hotspots are the graphic equivalent of text
hyperlinks (described in Chapter 12). Clicking on a hotspot causes OOo
to open the linked page in the appropriate program (for example, the
default browser for an HTML page; OOo Calc for a .ODS file; a PDF
viewer for a PDF file). You can create hotspots of various shapes and
include several hotspots in the same image.
To use the image map editor:
1) In your OOo document, select the picture where you want to
define the hotspots.
2) Choose Edit > ImageMap from the menu bar. The ImageMap
Editor (Figure 287) opens.
3) Use the tools and fields in the dialog (described on the next page)
to define the hotspots and links necessary.
4) Click the Apply icon to apply the settings.
5) When done, click the Save icon to save the imagemap to a file,
then click the X in the upper right corner to close the dialog.
