[OSGeo-Discuss] Generating html clickable image maps from polygons

[Alexandre Leroux]

Thanks to all who replied. This is great to learn many open source 
software can do it. We'll definitely use one of them.

For the benefits of the community, I published a short summary of the 
findings on Slashgeo: http://slashgeo.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/07/1828208
Slashgeo regularly covers OSGeo software, with 35,000 daily hits and 
thousands of unique IP addresses reached every day, it can only help 
open source geospatial software get even more publicity.

Cheers,

Alex
