## NAME

imaptool - tool for creating client-side image maps

## SYNOPSIS

**imaptool** *\<.gif\|.jpeg file\>*\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **imaptool** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**imaptool** is a tool that helps in the creation of client-side image maps.

For more information on client-side image maps refer see - http://home.netscape.com/assist/net\_sites/html\_extensions\_3.html

**imaptool** is pretty easy to use.

Invoke **imaptool** on a .gif or .jpeg image.  Click on 'Shape' and choose a shape (Available shapes - Rectangle, Circle and Polygon).  Click on the image and drag the mouse to enclose the required area.  The HTML tag for this client-side image map area is now in your X buffer.

Once you have enclosed the required area, change to your favorite editor (running in another window) and click Button 2 to paste the client-side image map tag.
