An additional function is that the mapfile you create can be used to mark the image. This is particularly useful for informing users which parts of a particular image are relevant, and it involves no extra work by you.
MapMarker is based on John Ousterhout's tk package.
It is used to create ISMAP files for use with the
imagemap mechanism.
These files allow inline images to be inserted on web pages, that respond to
user interactions. Depending where the user has clicked in the diagram,
different documents can be called.

maps.
To run MapMarker you will need tcl7.3/tk3.6. If you wish to use colour images you will need them as rppm files and must have the photo widget as part of your "wish".
Mapmarker uses imfile to calculate image sizes. This is available from :
ftp://sdsc.edu/pub/sdsc/graphics/imtoolsalso it uses a program written in C by Peter Murray-Rust, called editimage. This is included as part of the package.
