The example uses scaled coordinates, and shows how you give the vertices of the polygon defining the shape of the button. Like the ISMAP mechanism, you can use pixel-based coordinates by using integer numbers throughout. Note that clicks on shaped buttons take precedence over the ISMAP mechanism for sending events to the server. An efficient algorithm for testing if a mouse/pen click lies inside a polygon is given as a C routine in Appendix III.
