Anybody can submit articles to the Liberty BASIC Programmer's Encyclopedia. You do not need to beAn image map is a member of Wikispacespicture with clickable regions. Image maps are typically found on WebPages as navigational tools, allowing users to click on pictures or sections of this site.a picture to go to other pages.

By adding content to the Liberty BASIC Programmer's Encyclopedia, you are bound by the license. If you do not want to release your work under this license, do not submit articles. [[License|Click HERE to read the License.]]==How To== 

**Article Guidelines**
The Liberty BASIC Programmer's Encyclopedia isCreate an image with solid colored regions. Bitmaps (Bmps) take up a place for full-length technical articles. Authors should make sure that articles are well-structured, that words are spelled correctly, and that all code works properly. [[tech.writing|Click HERE for help on technical writing.]]lot of space, so using high quality Jpegs might be the better option. If you choose to use Jpegs, however, don’t use Microsoft Paint to save the Jpeg. The quality will not be good enough to create an image map. For my image map example, I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to save the Jpegs at the highest quality available.

When you submit an article, be aware this is not the end of your involvement. Few of us get it Just Right the very first time. Expect an LBPE editor to contact you with questions, suggestions, possible edits, etcetera for you to look over and take the proper action.[[image:http://www.geocities.com/msl_007/Body.jpg]]

**Adding Articles**

If your article is called "Using Arrays", your link would look like this: ``* [[Using Arrays]] ``

**Editing Articles**
To learn how to use WikiText markup to edit site content, click [[www:wikitext|HERE.]] You don't need to know WikiText, though. When you are editing a page, there is a button near the bottom to "Use Visual Editor." If you want to try some editing in a safe place where you can do no harm, play in the [[TestArea|Test Area]]. Before finalizing the article, you can click the "Preview" button to see how your article will appear, and make changes as needed.[[code format="php"]]
[begin]
input red
input green
input blue
print RGB(red, green, blue)
input again$
if again$ = "y" then [begin]
end
Function RGB(red, green, blue)
 RGB= red + (green * 256) + (blue * 65536)
End Function

When you are editing a page there is a linkimage, indexing the color of each pixel in the upper right for "Images". Clickclickable regions. Store this to viewinformation in a listRandom Access File database. Colors that are not part of all available files and images.the clickable regions may be ignored or grouped together in a Case Else statment. Here's a code snippet of the scan process.

Such a program may run for several minutes to index large pictures. It took my computer about 8 minutes to index a little more than 200,000 pixels. (That’s a 320 x 630 size image.)

The use of a few API/DLL calls, including the Future**
OneGetPixel function, will be required.

[[code format="vb"]]
Function pixelLong(xVar, yVar)

hGBox = hWnd(#t.box)
 hDC = hDC(hGBox)

 Open "gdi32"for DLL as #gdi

 CallDLL #gdi, "GetPixel",_
 hDC as Ulong,_
 xVar as Long,_
 yVar as Long,_
 pixelLong as Long

 Close #gdi

 CallDLL#user32,"ReleaseDC", _
 hGBox as Ulong, _
 hDC as Ulong, _
 result as Long

End Function


Function hDC(hGBox)

 Open "user32" for dll as #user
 CallDLL #user, "GetDC",_
 hGBox as Ulong,_
 hDC as Ulong

 Close #user

End Function
[[code]]

Each clickable region can have a separate picture associated with it. The new picture may replace the old picture when the mouse moves over the region or when a mouse button is either pressed or released. For that matter, a different picture could be triggered with each of the advantagesmentioned events. Options at this point are only hindered by your imagination.
