## Beschrijving

**Active Contour** lets you define interactive contour areas on media images. Each
polygonal area can be associated with a title & URL, making it easy to build rich
visual navigation, diagrams, and interactive image content.

### Features

 * **Edit contours directly in the Media Library**
    - Add, move, and delete points visually
    - Scaled preview with zoom and background options
 * **Define attributes per area**
    - Each area can include `title`, `href`, and custom data
    - Stored as JSON in image meta field
 * **Import contours from external tools**
    - Paste a JSON object describing one or multiple contours
    - Compatible with AI-generated data or exported data from vector tools
    - Preview and refine the result before saving
 * **Gutenberg Block Support**
    - Insert an image with interactive contours using the included block (Active
      Contour)
    - Live preview of the selected image and contour state
 * **Shortcode Support**
    - Use `[active_contour id="123" cid="1,2"]` to embed images with specific contours
    - Works anywhere shortcodes are supported (pages, posts, widgets)

### Use cases

 * Interactive maps and diagrams
 * Infographics with tooltips or links
 * Product showcases with click/tap areas
 * Educational or documentation content

### Keyboard Shortcuts

While editing points in the contour editor, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts
for greater control:

 * Delete — Removes the currently selected point from the contour.
    - or Numpad + — Converts the selected segment into a curved arc (or increases
      arc intensity).
 *  - or Numpad – — Decreases arc curvature or switches arc back to straight line.
 * Shift (hold) — Activates zoom mode. While holding Shift, a magnifier lens appears
   under the cursor to help you place points more precisely.

Other behaviors:

 * Click on canvas — Adds a new point in the closest location or selects an existing
   one if clicked near.
 * Click and drag a point — Moves the selected point with the mouse.
