A javascript tool to create image map that you can export in HTML or SVG

Image Map Creator

This is a simple map creator tool made with the p5.js library. I want it to be easy to use for both the end user and the developper. This work is still in beta so a lot of things are about to change (including the save file's structure).

Live demo

Integration

There are multiple ways to get image-map-creator:

• Download the bundle from the latest release.
• Compile the bundle from sources (see development informations).
• Get the package from npm:

  npm install image-map-creator
  

  // script.js
  import { imageMapCreator } from "image-map-creator";

Import p5.js, p5.dom.js and the javascript bundle from /dist :

<script src="dist/image-map-creator.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.6.0/p5.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.6.0/addons/p5.dom.min.js"></script>

Add a <div> with an id, then instantiate the p5 object like this :

let iMap = new imageMapCreator("div-id");

The contructor of imageMapCreator accepts these parameters :

new imageMapCreator(elementId [, width = 600 [, height = 450 ]]);

You can also see the detailled example in the /demos folder.
