<p>
The context menus module allows you
to add items to Google Chrome's context menu.
</p>

<p>
You can choose what types of objects
your context menu additions apply to,
such as images, hyperlinks, and pages.
</P>

<p>
You can create as many context menu items
as you need, but if more than one
from your extension is visible at once,
Google Chrome automatically collapses them
into a single parent menu.
</p>

<h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2>
<p>You must declare the "contextMenus" permission
in your extension's manifest to use the API.
Also, you should specify a 16x16-pixel icon
for display next to your menu item.
For example:
</p>

<pre>{
  "name": "My extension",
  ...
  "permissions": [
    <b>"contextMenus"</b>
  ],
  "icons": {
    <b>"16": "icon-bitty.png",</b>
    "48": "icon-small.png",
    "128": "icon-large.png"
  },
  ...
}</pre>

<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>

<p>
You can find samples of this API on the
<a href="samples.html#contextMenus">sample page</a>.
