The pattern / math is the same if you start w/ the image X & Y and get the grid values as portion of that

|I would imagine it would get even more complicated with different grid

| || Then you are not linking to Each Pixel
|| - but to some pre-defined grid (in your example 100x100)
||
|| And yes you can make an image map down to 1 px X 1 px
|| - not that any user could reliably pick any 1 px location w/ their mouse
|| (or probably even pick a 5px X 5px link at normal screen resolutions)
||
|| Image map links are defined by the 4 coordinates (relative to top left
| corner of the image)
||
|| <area href="yoururl.com" shape="rect" coords="left,top,right,bottom"
||
|| Below is a 5x5 10 px wide link grid which will give you the "pattern" you
| are looking for
||
|| <map name="FPMap0">
||
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="0, 0, 10, 10">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="10, 0, 20, 10">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="20, 0, 30, 10">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="30, 0, 40, 10">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="40, 0, 50, 10">

|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="20, 10, 30, 20">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="30, 10, 40, 20">

||
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="0, 20, 10, 30">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="10, 20, 20, 30">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="20, 20, 30, 30">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="30, 20, 40, 30">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="40, 20, 50, 30">
||
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="0, 30, 10, 40">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="10, 30, 20, 40">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="20, 30, 30, 40">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="30, 30, 40, 40">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="40, 30, 50, 40">
||
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="0, 40, 10, 50">

|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="30, 40, 40, 50">
|| <area href="link" shape="rect" coords="40, 40, 50, 50">
||
|| </map>
|| <img border="0" src="yourimagefile" width="X" height="Y" usemap="#FPMap0">

| |||I would imagine that in principle an image map could be quite
||| detailed, down to the pixel level.
|||
||| I understand that there would be a large amount of data.
|||
||| It would be acceptable to have an arbitrary number of pages each
||| with say 1000 links, to avoid overloading a single page.
|||
||| I don't understand the reference to screen resolutions. a page might
| contain
||| a 100x100 grid, each element being say 5 pixels square, with each element
||| having a link. That's 10,000 links per page. Fine by me.
