Thanks to all who replied. This is great to learn many open source
software can do it. We'll definitely use one of them.
For the benefits of the community, I published a short summary of the
findings on Slashgeo: http://slashgeo.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/07/1828208
Slashgeo regularly covers OSGeo software, with 35,000 daily hits and
thousands of unique IP addresses reached every day, it can only help
open source geospatial software get even more publicity.
Cheers,
Alex

Alex,
You can use MapServer to generate imagemaps. See

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Generating html clickable image maps from polygons
Hi list,
A rather technical question. I was able to find a potential solution
with GRASS GIS, but want to know if there are other solutions involving
FOSS4G software.
Which other FOSS4G software can generate html clickable image maps out
of polygons? The challenge is simple: a colleague has many polygons that
must be exported to several clickable PNGs like the example on this
page: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/sqc_e.html
(A webmap tool such as OpenLayers would be much more powerful, but in
some cases we do need clickable PNGs.)
I found out it seems GRASS GIS 6.3+ can do it via its HTMLMAP driver:
http://www.phygeo.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass63/manuals/html63_user/htmlmapdri
ver.html
Can any other OSGeo software do the same?
Thanks for any reply!
Alex
