Interestingly, I want to do the same thing for my django-worldmap application - http://lurkingideas.net/worldmap/.

Having spent the several hours looking for a solution, it seems the only way to do it is to parse the svg and draw the map again somehow - like you have done.

Thanks, at least I know there is probably no other way :)

Hello David,

Great examples. FYI, you mispelled Ecuador (you wrote Equador).

If I try and print an image to which maphilight is associated, the image does not appear. Is there a way to disable Maphilight when I print, or some CSS that can be placed inside
@media print { .. }

Very efficient and impressing.

I’d love to add a caption based on the image map AREA title tag, but I can’t figure out how to show any text with canvas-generated maphilight.

Great plugin. I’m trying to figure out how to toggle the highlight when a map area is clicked. I will figure it out eventually, but figured I’d check w/you b/c I figure there’s probably just one line of code necessary to do it that I haven’t figured out yet.

Very nice plug-in. I’d very much like to add some text to the highlighted area. Is it possible to have an associated floating DIV (like a tooltip). I want to show captions based on the AREA’s title tag.

David -

I noticed that your image map of the world contains many doubled coordinates, that is, consecutive coordinates that are the same x-y pair (probably due to float-to-integer roundoff).

Here (http://pyparsing.pastebin.com/f6d3558d9) is a pyparsing script to post-process your generated image map - on your map of the world, it removes over 7700 duplicate coords. The maximum number of duplicates was 14 on line 108.

Great work on this plugin. Anyone else have problems with it working on IE7? Seems to have hilite at all on:

Works great in all other browsers I’ve tested. Could there be a small annoying IE idiosyncracy that prevents this from working?

Hey there, cool script but is there any option (or can you tell me where to start implementing it) to highlight an area from outside? For example by pressing a button?
