Say, I have a family photo (jpg for example) and several individuals shown on the photo are present in my tree. Is it possible, nowadays, through programming or through other mean, to click on an individual on the said photo (one who is within the tree) and have his/her page poping up on screen?

Thank you for your answer.

I followed your links and read your topics. Quite an interesting subject.

I also did my home work and investigated the sub on the net.

I came across a shareware soft, downloaded it, installed it, started it, loaded one of my jpg pictures from my HD showing my wife and 2 of my daughters, set up some areas (I played around and diversified the areas with a polygon, rectangle and circle), linked their areas with their home page (on my web site) and saved my work as a .htm file. Both are shown below:

1) the Html page (areas shown for info):

2) the associated HTML code:

And the links from, my HD to my web site, work!

I also converted my basic jpg photo into some other file types: bmp, emf, gif, png, tga, tif & wmf and created an htm file for each file type. All the links also worked except tga & tif. For these 2 file types, I couldn’t get the image on screen with IE nor with Firefox.

I was happily surprised of the result. It was easy to achieve.

Having said that, I think, after version 2.0, Genopro could implement  such a feature (possibility to link individuals within a group image, when present in the tree, with their associated home page) as some users may be interested in creating and playing with such feature.

I don’t know if it’s the only existing way to implement the subject but it should not be too difficult for Genopro to achieve this, unless some programming impossibilities, constraints,…. or preference for Djvu!

When I was introduced to DjVu, I spent a full day reading the documentation and see the possibilities of supporting the DjVu format within GenoPro.  The DjVu format is very good and has many options, perhaps too many for GenoPro.  Support the DjVu format into GenoPro is quite a task.

On the other hand, I have been greatly inspired by the IPTC approach of storing additional information inside the JPEG image.  After reading some very technical articles, I figured out it is possible to insert user-defined segments (also called frames) to insert application-specific metadata structures.  I will check out if there are any existing XML structure to store image mapping within the JPEG image, otherwise I may create my own.  The benefit is the generated code will be stored inside the .jpg file, yet will not affect anything about the image by other graphic applications.

Just to let you know that I managed to insert an image map (a made up htm file) within the report. It is not a straightforward matter because I had to modify several files after the generated report but it works. If you click on the wedding photo, you'll see the result.

My family in question is: Creton -> Roger Creton & Jacqueline Guasp

Maybe one day Genopro may come up with such feature, through DjVu, IPTC or others.

Thank you.

Really good job!
