Image maps

IS provides mechanisms to simplify use of HTML image maps. The JAVA-based and Flash-based viewers in IS also include limited support for image maps.
Source image maps are provided to IS either by way of catalog::Map
or with the map=
command, and processed maps are retrieved using the req=map
command.
An image map consists of one or more HTML AREA elements, properly delimited with ‘<’ and ‘>’. If provided by way of catalog::Map, all pixel coordinates values are assumed to be in the original image resolution and relative to the top left corner of the (unmodified) source image. When provided by way of a map=
command, the coordinate values are assumed to be layer coordinates, relative to the top-left corner of the layer (after rotate=
and extend=
).
IS generates a composite image map from the source image maps of each constituent layer by applying the spatial transformations (such as scaling and rotation) to the map coordinates, and then assembling the processed layer maps in the appropriate z-order (front to back) and with the appropriate positioning.
The following commands are considered for image map processing when provided in conjunction with req=map
(either directly in the request, by way of catalog templates, or in catalog::Modifier
strings):
align=
wid=
hei=
scl=
crop=
flip=
rotate=
scale=
layer=
size=
extend=
origin=
pos=
anchor=
src=
map=
All other commands are effectively ignored.
The SHAPE
and COORDS
attributes of an AREA
may be modified during processing of a req=map
request, all other attributes of the AREA
element are passed without modification. In most cases this involves changing the SHAPE
value from DEFAULT
to RECT
(this would also add the COORDS
attribute), or changing the COORDS
values.
Any AREA
elements which become empty during processing are removed entirely. If a map is associated with layer=comp
it is placed behind all other maps. The data is returned in text form one as or more HTML AREA
elements. An empty reply string indicates that no image map exists for the specified object(s).
Layer transparency is not considered for map processing. A fully transparent layer can still have an image map associated with it. The map of a partially transparent layer is not clipped to the transparent regions.
