I know this is a thing used primarily on websites..but since python can do
anything ;)
I'm trying to make a clickable image map for my wxPython program.
Basically, I know how to organize the images into one large image in a
panel, but how do I make the individual pieces clickable like webpage
links(in wxPython)? The goal is to add an event handler that displays the
image piece in a different panel, along with attributes. Which I could do
if only I could make the pieces clickable
Any ideas?
Also, if you have any hard to find links on the general area I'm talking
about, I'd like to learn as much as possible.
-thanks 4 5405
Hello Aaron,
You need to check the demo that comes with wxPython if you don't
have it get it. Look under wxHtmlWindow and click the demo tab then
just scroll down and there is a link to it that says IMAGEMAP.
Or in other words RTFD ;)

Basically, your approach can be completely different under wxPython -
you can use a single image, and then query the mouse click events to
determine which location (and therefore which portion of the image) was
clicked.
You *could* use separate images as well, in which case you would need to
provide callback functions to be called for clicks on the various
sub-portions.
Take a look at the docs for wxEvent, and see if that leads you to
something you can understand.

Steve

Thanks for the responses guys!
The first option you provided sounds great, Steve. I think I'm gonna try
it that way.

OK. It's usually the easiest way if the subsections are at all regular.
If they are irregular it's often the *only* way!
This is a technique that can also be used on the web (Google for
"client-side image map"), but it's very little-used there.

I'm trying to make it more accessible and currently I'm testing in

3 links no matter there are 5 AREAs (3 point to a same reference). I
don't like Lynx displays the 'alt' text and not the link titles

I have a simple question about the alt content of area elements
within an image map: is it redundant to include phrases such as
"link to..." or "jump to..."? My initial thought is 'yes', since
the area element implies a link to some other item or page location,
but would like to hear what others think.
If it helps at all, the page which prompted me to ask the question

Hi all.
So: I've put together a page, in which I want several clickable image maps. I've put those together already. The problem with image maps is that they're not very intuitive, so users don't really expect the image to be clickable and accordingly won't even try to. The solution is to have the image highlight whenever the mouse travels over the mapped-out area; I understand that this is quite easy. Some Googling has provided a few...
