Select single point from an image, LS 5.x was created by Jmantysalo

What is the easiest way to make a question where the participant selects a single point from an image in LS 5?

Hi,
what about this?
[url] forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...p-integration#191414 [/url]

Tested in 5.4.3.
Select a point and the coordinates are returned.

Great, that works!

(If the thread were not locked, I would have added a message telling that this works on 5.x too.)

Or as a question theme, perhaps some small modifications to this - github.com/tpartner/LimeSurvey-Image-Interest-Points-5x

Seems a little complicated for selecting a single point.

Generally, I'm not sure if internal structure of LS is perfect for this kind on questions where you can have arbitrary number of answers. For a single point it would be logical to have two columns for the answer, one for X- and other for Y-coordinate.

OTOH maybe the user must always make some complicated things outside Lime. Let's assume we show a photo of people, and ask the participant to click most beatifull one, or click all who looks like woman. I guess we don't want to try to make Lime to compute if the user clicked Alice or Bob.

Question has been asked several times, so clearly some people want to use this. But for what?
