Changing the shape of layer-based image maps


    When you create a layer-based image map area, the default image map area is a rectangle that encompasses all of the layer's pixel data. You can change the shape of the image map area by selecting a Shape option in the Image Map palette.

To change the shape of a layer-based image map area:

  1. Select a layer-based image map area.
  2. In the Layer Image Map section of the Image Map palette, choose an option from the shape pop-up list: Rectangle, Circle, or Polygon. If you choose Polygon, enter a value or choose a value from the Quality pop-up slider to set the number of segments in the polygon.
