ImageRegionSelector
Version 1.0
The ImageRegionSelector Bean is a graphical selection component which displays an image and allows the selection of predefined regions of that image. You can incorporate The ImageRegionSelector component in user interfaces to let you select regions graphically to provide a more natural interaction mechanism. For example you can use an ImageRegionSelector component to display a photograph of products for sale - allowing the selection of one to get more information about it directly from the image, rather than search through a textual list of product descriptions.
Due to the closeness of the region definition, the ImageRegionSelector can provide accurate feedback about the region where the mouse pointer is hovering and the latest region to be selected. This is done by applying one of a variety of supported emphasis styles to the display image upon selection and rollover.
An ImageRegionSelector component can define regions on a wide variety of images such as photographs and original artwork which can be provided in the major graphics formats such as .gif and .jpeg. This means, along with the fact that it is written in pure Java, it is suitable to be used to spice up web pages as well as standalone Java applications.
