# HTML(Area)

Version Ref: 5.0 (not included in filePro Lite)

Syntax:

HTML:AR :HR "Image.bmp"

The :AR tag defines each "hotzone" region within tag :MA

HTML Function | TAG | Tag Code | Tag Value | Attr | Value | # of Values
Area | <AREA> | :AR | <none> | :NA | Name | 1
|  |  |  | :HR | HRef | 1
|  |  |  | :SH | Shape | 1
|  |  |  | :CO | Coord. | +
|  |  |  | :NO | No HRef | 0
|  |  |  | :AL | Alternate | 1

Description:

The :HR attribute specifies the URL for the destination that should be chosen if this area was selected. If you specify :NO instead, this area won't do anything.

:SH and :CO define the actual region.

:SH can be a rectangle, circle or polygon and :CO should contain a set of coordinates describing that shape. This is done with a comma separated list of numbers, enclosed in quotes. The syntax for :CO depends on what shape you choose.

rect - rectangle

A rectangle has four coordinates. The first specifies the top left corner, and the second the bottom right corner of the rectangle.

Example:

:SH = "rect" :CO = "0,0,9,9" would specify a rectangle of 10x10 pixels, starting in the top left corner of the image.

circle - circle

A circle is defined by its center and radius. The :CO attribute first specifies the coordinates of the center, and then the radius of the circle, in pixels.

Example

:SH = circle :CO = "10,10,5" would specify a circle with radius 5 at location (10,10) in the image.

poly - polygon

A polygon is built up by a list of coordinates. They are all connected in the order you present, and the last coordinate pair is connected to the first. This way you can build arbitrary figures.

Example:

:SH=poly :CO="10,50,15,20,20,50" would specify a triangle,

:AL is used by text browsers to present the URLs in the imagemap in a more readable fashion. If you leave those off, the browser can only display the "bare" URLs. The ALT text is required if you want your document to be valid.
