Create nonrectangular slices



Use the Polygon Slice tool to create nonrectangular slices. Nonrectangular slices are useful when you're trying to attach interactivity to a nonrectangular image.


Draw polygon slice objects

  1. Select the Polygon Slice tool .

  2. Click to place the vector points of the polygon. This is necessary because the Polygon Slice tool draws straight line segments.

  3. When drawing a polygon slice object around objects with soft edges, include the entire object to avoid creating unwanted hard edges in the slice graphic.

  4. To stop using the Polygon Slice tool, select another tool from the Tools panel. You don't have to click the first point to close the polygon.

    Note: Polygon slices combine HTML tables with image maps, requiring more code than similar rectangular slices. Using many polygon slices can increase processing time in a web browser.

Create a polygon slice from a vector object or path

  1. Select a vector path.

  2. Select Edit > Insert > Polygon Slice.
