With this dialog box you can set a few options for your image map before it is saved to disk.

Map name

Image maps each have a name and that name must be unique within a web page. Include this name in the USEMAP attribute of the <IMG> tag to identify the associated image map. (USEMAP="#example" for an image map called 'example'.)

If you are inserting this image map into an existing file, you can either type in a new image map name or choose the name of an existing image map. This will replace the old image map with new data.

Approximate curves with lines

Clickable regions in image maps are made up of straight lines, not curves. That means that any curved objects in your document will be approximated by straight-sided shapes in the image map. With this option you can select how closely the curved shapes are approximated by straight-sided polygons. For example, the Approximately setting will approximate the curved shapes very roughly. If you need a very accurate image map, choose Very Closely, but this adds more sections to each shape in the image map and may make the HTML file quite large.

Size of corresponding bitmap

With this option you can adjust the width and height of the image map in pixels. You should adjust these values so they are the same size as the bitmap over which you want to put the image map.

The default values for the width and height of the image map will be the width and height of the objects to be exported in pixels (the width and height shown in the Selector Tool Infobar).

Area for image map

You can create an image map either for the complete drawing or just the selected objects.

Save all clickable areas as rectangles

This options means all clickable areas are saved as simple rectangles that totally enclose the clickable area.

Copy image map to clipboard

This copies the text of the image map to the clipboard so you can use a text editor to paste it into an HTML page. Note that this overwrites anything already on the clipboard.
