Creating the Map File
Select Edit>Map Entry Mode (or Ctrl L).
This enters Map Entry mode (signified by the cursor changing to a rectangle) where it is expected that you will click on a
position on the image map, drag the mouse to create a rectangle, and release the mouse. For proper operation of the fill
routine on the image, it is required that the centre dot lies within the symbol. (This forms the initial point for the fill). A box
will then popup, prompting you to enter a segment output number, derived by one of the two methods above. For odd
shapes or diagonal shapes, it is quite acceptable to create multiple rectangles, even overlapping, which all have the
same output segment number.
If different symbols, or parts of symbols, are electrically connected on the display and will turn on together, the above
should be repeated with boxes with the same segment number for each. This doesn’t affect the appearance of the
physical display, only the PC image.
Figure 19.
Map Entry mode
Selecting View>Map, Ctl M or the Map icon
allow the previously defined boxes to be displayed.
A zoom function is available View>Zoom or the Zoom icon
allows you to get close in as in Figure 20 below. This
shows the use of overlapping rectangles. The scroll bars allows you to pan around. Note that the dot at the centre of
each rectangle should lie within the symbol. The rectangles represent the area in which you can click to activate the
segment. The fill program will colour the whole of the segment. Boxes may not overlap if they are associated with
different segments.
