Re: lisp-based generation of web images with hot spots

Dear Mark,

We do have a tool that encompasses the functionality you describe 
(creating web images that include hot spots with URLs that you can 
click on - image maps). The tool is called Deep Navel and it was built 
using MCL (Macintosh Common Lisp). We use the image map generation to 
automatically create web sites with 2-level navigation bars (using a 
variety of themes) from a folder structure. You can experience this if 
you download the trial version of Deep Navel from 
http://www.deepnav.com

The functionality is part of a (non-open source) commercial product, 
but please contact us if you are interested in exploring it further.

Thanks,
Andri
