Re: [birt-dev] RE: HTML Imagemap development for charts

[Mike J Boyersmith <mjboyers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be interested in what is happening
with image map support as well. 
There is an RFE 109316
 which describes what were looking
for. 

In general we would like to be able
to create image maps from data sets. 
This would require that there be the
following

1) image(s),  which could possibly
be fetched as a data set of BLOBs, or file locations.
2) polygons,  the regions in the
image that would be clickable 
3) A set of URI,  where to go if
a click happens in a given polygon on the image
4) mouse feedback on mouse over of hotspot
in image
5) hotspot  hi-light on mouse over.
This one is a "nice to have" feature but not necessary if we
have 4 above.

If we look at the W3 HTML Image map
spec, this is what we're want to achieve in our reports, only dynamically
using data sources and data sets.

Subject	[birt-dev] RE: HTML Imagemap development for charts

Hi all - this is a quick email to say hello to all
of you on this forum 
and an update on some recent development work that I've been involved in
related to BIRT charts specifically Imagemaps.

We started by having a basic requirment to enable interactivity at the
HTML level so we resorted to extending the IImageItemContent interface
to achieve this. Needless to say there is a lot more work required to 
truly be able to say it's a 100% complete, but I thought I might bring
this to you and any input will be valuable.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
Ady
