Hello there, I could need some help or suggestions.

Some idea how I could create a pie menue with the single segments clickable?

Or is it possible to draw costum clickable elements that are not rectangular?

Thanks a lot for any ideas!

You could consider using an image as background and place some transparent rectangles over it as clickable items. However the items’ shape are not perfectly fit the menu background.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I already tried that but the result wasn’t exectly what I need. Or is there a way how I could rotate rectangles?
I also tried to use triangles but the problem is that the clickable areas always overlap at the center of the “circle”, but that’s exactly what I want to point out in the prototype. If you place an object in the middle you have very short mouse ways.

    It is a known limitation, which is hard to overcome. The clickable areas are always rectangle as they will be coverted to HTML elements in simulation.

    Yeah that's what I imagened. Implement a kind of area maps in ForeUI would be a very nice feature. But I don't know if that's technically possible at all.
    For now I found a little work around, placing simply rectangles as menue around the element. I hope that will do the job for presentation. Thank's so far for your help!
