Yes, I once did this for all the states in Brazil. It took me a few hours to trace the states, but it looked beautiful when it was finished. This will already have been done for the states many times - you could probably borrow someone else's work and scale it up or down a bit if it doesn't fit.

If it's the former, then PHP has nothing to do with that. I'm sure you can find some tools to generate image maps for you. There have always been free ones with a minimum of effort. If you're having problem with PHP in the mix, can you describe the PHP problem, provide some code, some sample output, etc.? I've used image maps in the past (though I try to stay away from them) and you can create a link with virtually any polygon if you have the patience to may out the plot points. You could easily create a star with many, many points and have it be clickable - which would indicate that most states would be a piece of cake. -M -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Gamma Global : Suppliers of HPCompaq, IBM, Acer, EPI, APC, Cyclades, D-Link, Cisco, Sun Microsystems, 3Com GAMMA GLOBAL (UK) LTD IS A RECOGNISED 'INVESTOR IN PEOPLE' AND AN 'ISO 9001 2000' REGISTERED COMPANY ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This Email is confidential and may also be privileged.
