Hide hotspot as default #3

I think the hotspot should be hidden or not added before the editor select a position. Furthermore it would be useful to allow adding multiple hotspot and manage each hotspot - maybe even with some basic meta data like a caption, (url), ...

Thanks Bjarne!

Initially hiding the hotspot makes good sense and multiple hotspots is also something I'd like to be able to do. Adding metadata I don't think is a good idea, as per Hendy's blogpost — much better to have this property editor handle the hotspot and just add it to a doctype with the connected data. At least that's my thinking :)

Hi Chriztian

I think that depends on how the hotspot/imagemap property editor is built. The one Hendy built, it had a node per hotspot. But from the editors point of view I think it might be good the see/manage meta data in the context. E.g. I think this works very well, when you just need a caption/title and a link: http://angularscript.com/angular-plugin-to-draw-image-map/

Some time ago I experimented a bit with that, but I would also like that I could draw elipsis, polygons and just add a hotspot. image

I like some of the stuff the hotspot editor here offer: http://codecanyon.net/item/image-map-pro-jquery-interactive-image-map-builder/2792438

mainly the different types and different settings for each hotspot: action (link) and tooltip content (mostly just a simple title or short text).
