Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Generating html clickable image maps from polygons
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.

Someone recently contributed an html imagemap module for GeoServer. http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/HTML+ImageMap+support An example of it in action here: http://geo.openplans.org/states.html -Justin Alexandre Leroux wrote: Hi list, A rather technical question.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Generating html clickable image maps from polygons
MapServer can do this via Templates. We use it in our GISmo (GeoMoose) interface quite a bit for Popups. you can see it action here: http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/ Just zoom in a ways, a couple of blocks, turn on the Address Point layer, and then switch to the "Visible Layers" tab, and make the Address layer imagemap active, it should be highlighted in Blue in the right hand control panel if you have zoomed in enough on the map. Just toggle it on and mouse over the Address Points. If you want the technical peak at things, here is the imagemap output call from Mapserver (that GeoMoose builds): http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/DB/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/ADDRESS/STAMP-active_public.map?mapext=587340.1267982177%20162002.83410579615%20588032.8548504771%20162477.73387889678&mapsize=1218%20835&mode=nquery&searchmap=true The above link generates a Imagemap (only) fragment for use by GeoMoose. MapServer builds it based on Templates, as described in the MapServer docs in someone else's reply. bobb >>> Alexandre Leroux 01/05/09 3:07 PM >>> Hi list, A rather technical question.
