How to change mini-map in game

How to change the scale or the section of the mini-map I want to show in the mini-map section, cos when I want to change the camera bounds I want to change the mini-map part with it too so I don't want to see all the map.
by the way is it possible to change the image of the mini-map in game whenever I want ?

Changing the mini map in game cannot be done but I have found it possible to change the mini map in game and swap it with a static graphic. Also modifying the mini map to change with the in game camera angles or to rescale it would require a proficent programmer to modify the Warcraft Game Engine I believe since that isn't even in the W3X file.

I know it's possible, but I don't know how, I saw it in to map on battle.net.
Spellcraft old version and pyramide map (something like you have to do mini-game in the map to get a victory)... by the way you can change the mini-map in game with a image its possible, but I don't know if you canchange it in game, but I think you can make one bigger image and choose what part you want to show ...
one is mini map preview and other is mini map in the map ...
War3MapMap.blp ---------» In game mini map
War3MapPreview.tga -----» Mini map preview
But it not help me in what i need.░▒▓│┤ :\ :(

What do you say about Static graphic what do you mean?

Well then like I said they must have had people who know JASS because you can't do that without some modification to the W3X file. Check out the JASS forums and ask them if they know something about this.

Hehe I always wanted this too but also the preview image and the minimap stacking ontop, that would be cool...
