An apparatus and method for mapping (associating, linking) hot spot objects of arbitrary shape and size to selected portions of an image presentable on a display connected to a computer. A hot spot object is mapped to a color, that may or may not be a color of the object when displayed. A user may designate a display color to be easily visible for presenting a template of hot spot objects. A distinct color for each hot spot object may be identifiable by a number comprised of the red, green, and blue bit numbers of the color. Maps may be stored in a memory device configured to link a template of hot spot objects to a display of pixels, each pixel of the display to a color, and each color to a definition of a functional object, such as an application or executable statement. On a computer, a user may create, select, or open a hot spot object (a graphical object associated with a portion of an overlying image) of arbitrary shape on a display. In indices (maps) a processor may read a pixel number, an associated unique color, and a functional object corresponding to the color.
