Segmented Hyper Graphics
open-in-new
<p>A Segmented Hyper Graphics (SHG) file is a computer <a href="/facts/Image_file_format/tLGQogv3">image file format</a> that contains a <a href="/facts/Bitmap/Fr80ySnT">bitmap</a> and optionally a number of <a href="/facts/Screen_hotspot/EKXK0xCE">hotspots</a>. This file format was developed for use in <a href="/facts/WinHelp/qf1N6Sxu">WinHelp</a> files, and allowed the user to click on different parts of an image to jump to different topics in the help file. SHG files can still be imported by some help authoring tools and thus can be used to create <a href="/facts/Help_file/dAzE62xs">help files</a> in formats other than WinHelp. </p><p>The SHG format is rarely used for help file formats other than WinHelp. Most other help formats use a method based on <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a> <a href="/facts/Image_map/jccIBPCz">image maps</a>. </p>
