✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so, real talk: this manual page is a brief lil rundown of the imaptool command. And why does it exist at all? Because the original program didn't ship with a manual page 😭, so it got written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. iconic of them tbh.

imaptool is a tool that helps you create client-side image maps. that's the whole vibe. 👑

imaptool is pretty easy to use. no cap. here's the whole flow:

• Invoke imaptool on a .gif or .jpeg image. 🖼️
• Click on 'Shape' and choose a shape. the available shapes are Rectangle, Circle and Polygon (that's the full list, bestie, don't go looking for more 🙈).
• Click on the image and drag the mouse to enclose the required area. 🖱️✨
• boom — the HTML tag for this client-side image map area is now in your X buffer. it's giving clipboard but make it X11 💀
• Once you've enclosed the required area, hop over to your favorite editor (running in another window, obviously 🌈) and click Button 2 to paste the client-side image map tag. slay. 🎀
