IMGMENUITEM

Property

1,2,3,4...

Data type

->Gifbuilder Object

Description

Note:

The way an image-map is made is this: All IMGMENUITEMS are included in one big Gifbuilder object (and renumbered!). Because of this, Gifbuilder objects on the next level will not be able to access the data of each menu item.

Also the feature of using [##.w] and [##.h] with +calc is currently not supported by IMGMENUITEMs.

Therefore all IMAGE objects on the first level is checked; if "file" or "mask" for any IMAGE objects are set to "GIFBUILDER", the GIFBUILDER object is parsed to see if any TEXT objects are present and if so, the TEXT object is "checked" - which means, that the stdWrap- function is called at a time where the $cObj->data-array is set to the actual menu item.

In the example below, the text of each menu item is rendered by letting the title be rendered on a mask instead of directly on the image. Please observe that the "NO.10" object is present in order for the image-map coordinates to be generated!

NO.6 = IMAGE
NO.6.file = fileadmin/masked_pencolor.gif
NO.6.mask = GIFBUILDER
NO.6.mask {
  XY = 500, 200
  backColor = black
  10 = TEXT
  10 {
    text.field = title
    fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/caflisch.ttf
    fontSize = 34
    fontColor = white
    angle = 15
    offset = 48,110
  }
  20 = EFFECT
  20.value = blur=80
}
NO.10 = TEXT
NO.10 {
  text.field = title
  fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/caflisch.ttf
  fontSize = 34
  angle = 15
  offset = 48,110
  hideButCreateMap = 1
}
