Class Area

Examples:

// Rectangular clickable area Area area1 = area().shape("rect").coords("0,0,100,50").href("https://example.com/page1"); // Circular clickable area Area area2 = area().shape("circle").coords("150,75,50").href("https://example.com/page2"); // Area with alternative text and target Area area3 = area().shape("rect").coords("200,0,300,100").href("https://example.com/page3") .alt("Click here for more info") .target("_blank");
