Image Mapper
- Enter the address of a gif or jpg image that you would like to create an
image map for, and the program will return a page to you with that image.
You can then click on the vertices of whatever geometric shapes you want to
map URLs to in the image, and the program will return to you the location
of your mouse clicks so you can build a map file. Alternatively, you can use
it to build a client-side imagemap. Platform independent.
