ImageMapConverter Interface


What is ImageMapConverter?

ImageMapConverter is an Apple Macintosh application to convert ImageMap files, used in World Wide Web documents, to and from different formats.
It is very useful for converting old Server Side Imagemaps into the new Client Side Imagemap format which is incorporated in the HTML-code without the need to recreate the hotspot-areas. To insure compatibility with older browsers ImageMapConverter can also convert Client Side Imagemaps (Usemaps) into Server Side Imagemaps.

Where do I get ImageMapConverter?

ImageMapConverter is available through all Info-Mac sites. You can follow this link to the INFO-Mac Hyperarchives to find it.. Or this one to the AMUG sites in Arizona. Or finally, get it in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The filesize is aproximately 693 K.
If you pay the shareware fee you'll get info about updates, FAT and Powermac versions, and the URLs where you can download them.

What does ImageMapConverter require to run?

ImageMapConverter should run on any Macintosh running System 7.x.x. It has been tested on a PowerMac 8100/100, PowerMac 7600, Performa 630 and a Quadra 700 with the following systems: System 7.1.1, System 7.1.2, System 7.5.1, and System 7.5.3.
It requires at least 1500 K of free application memory although 4500 K is recommended.

Special Features of ImageMapConverter:

  • Intelligent format recognition
  • Conversion of multiple files or whole folders
  • Conversion of ovals into polygons
  • Fully configurable Image Tag creation

Why is your company called Peghole?

Originally I am an animator and I have adopted my logo from something you use in this noble art. My logo is not printed: it consists of a series of three holes punched in the paper of my business cards, stationery and even in the envelopes. These holes, two rectangular ones and a round one in the middle, are originally used to register the drawings of an animated cartoon. They fit precisely on a metal bar with similarly shaped pegs (right: a pegbar!) so every drawing in an animated sequence is exactly at the same place. Unfortunately I can't punch holes in your computerscreen (if interactive technology has developed a little further I will consider adding it as a new feature...) so I use a graphic representation of my logo on the WorldWideWeb.
If you want to see my real logo you can commission me to make a cool Shockwave or something else and I'll sent you a bill with these holes in it!
So that's why Peghole is called Peghole. (And for those of you who have other thoughts when they hear that name, the answers are: yes, no, no, yes and no.)

What does Peghole do?
