Moving and resizing tool-based image maps

You can move and resize tool-based image map areas by dragging. You can also move and resize rectangular and circular image map areas using numeric coordinates.

Note: To move or resize a layer-based image map area, move or edit the layer.

To move a tool-based image map area:

1. Select one or more image map areas you want to move
2. Position the pointer inside the image map area, and drag it to a new position. Press Shift to restrict movement to a vertical, horizontal, or 45° diagonal line.

To resize a tool-based image map area:

1. Select an image map with the Image Map Select tool  or in the Web Content palette.

Note: If you select a polygonal image map, the cursor changes to a white arrow  to show you where to point on the handle. The other tools use the standard resize cursor .

2. Grab a handle of the boundary box by holding the mouse button down over it.
3. Drag a handle on the image map border to resize the image map area.

To resize and move a tool-based image map area using numeric coordinates:

1. Select a rectangular or circular image map area.
2. In the Dimensions area of the Image Map palette, change one or more of the following options:
• X to specify the distance in pixels between the left edge of a rectangular image map area, or the center point of a circular image map area, and the origin point of the ruler in the document window.
• Y to specify the distance in pixels between the top edge of a rectangular image map area, or the center point of a circular image map area, and the origin point of the ruler in the document window.

Note: The default origin point of the ruler is the upper left corner of the image. (See Using guides and the grid.)

• W to specify the width of a rectangular image map area.
• H to specify the height of a rectangular image map area.
• R to specify the radius of a circular image map area.
