### Shape maps

A shape map is a special kind of image in JReport. It contains a picture and certain areas that are bound with groups in a banded object. Shape map features only work when reports run in the HTML format or in Page Report Studio.

This section describes the following tasks related to shape maps:

- Inserting a shape map
- Binding data to a shape map
- Adding conditional formats to shape map areas
- Binding links to shape map areas
- Controlling labels and summary fields in each specific shape map area

See an example: The SampleComponents catalog, included with JReport Designer, contains reports that have examples of how each component type could be used in a report. For the shape map component example, open `<install_root>\Demo\Reports\SampleComponents\MapReport.cls`.
