Annotorious - Image Annotation for the Web (custom)

This library is a custom version of the Annotorious library (currently deprecated / dead). Show the new Annotorious library.

Annotorious is an Open Source image annotation toolkit written in JavaScript. It allows you to add drawing, commenting and labeling capabilities to your web page images with a few lines of code.

Are you looking for toolkit written in jQuery to annotate an image by dragging and dropping annotations? Check out this project.

Getting Started

Instructions on getting started using Original Annotorious library on the Wiki. Instructions on using it as a plugin to the Annotator Web annotation system are here.

How Do I Add Annotorious to My Web Page?

Unzip the contents of the package on your server
Link the Annotorious CSS file into the <head> of your Web pages
Link the Annotorious JavaScript file into the <head> of your Web pages

Example:

    <head>
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/annotorious.css" />
      <script type="text/javascript" src="annotorious.min.js"></script>
    </head>

How Do I Enable Annotation for an Image on My Page?

Once you have linked Annotorious into your Web page, you need to tell it which images should be annotatable. There are two ways you can do this:

Option 1. Add a CSS class called annotatable to the image. This is the easiest way to add annotation functionality, and I'd always recommend using this approach unless your page loads images dynamically via JavaScript, after the page has loaded.

Example:

<html>
    <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/annotorious.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="annotorious.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    <img src="example.jpg" class="annotatable" />
    </body>
</html>

Option 2: Annotation-enable your images via JavaScript API, using anno.makeAnnotatable(img); You can use this approach if your page loads images dynamically via JavaScript.

JavaScript API

Annotorious provides a JavaScript API you can use to get, add or remove annotations, and hook into the Annotorious event lifecycle. All functionality is exposed via the global anno object. The anno object has the following methods

My Contribution (Extended JavaScript API)

Functionality

Mask: Added the ability to insert an image inside a annotation with shapes rect.
ColorMode: Added the ability to draw custom shape without make an annotation. The drawn pixels coordinate are returned when the mouse is released.
SelectEditor: Added the ability to use a select inside the editor. (Dropdown menu)
CursorAxes: Added the ability to show cursor axes inside the image.
ArrowMode: Added the ability to annotate with draw arrow shape. (Arrow selector)
Fancy Box: Added 'Fancy Box Selector' plugin integration.
ExtraFields: Added the ability to add many fields to the annotation GUI widget from properties.
IntersectedAnnotations: Added the ability to retrieves all annotations that intersect the centroid of an annotation.

Changes

Added the ability to reload the annotations.
Added the onMouseMoveOverItem event - fired when the mouse enters an annotatable item.
Added an old annotation text inside the event onAnnotationUpdated, when editing the annotation.
Added the ability to insert more new annotation to an item on the page.
Added attributes in to the "annotation" variable.
Added more properties for editing style and functionality on runtime.
Added the ability to set the measurement units used for the output geometry ['pixel', 'fraction'].
Added the ability to custom the editor.
Added the ability to move the annotations. The onAnnotationMoved event - fired when the annotation was moved.
Added the ability to rotate the annotations. The onAnnotationRotated event - fired when the annotation was rotated.
Fixed bug:
- resizing the image: now the annotations are resized with the image. (The image must have the annotatable class).
- add new annotation: if the new annotation forms are exactly the same as the other annotation forms, the new annotation is not inserted.
- measurement units 'pixel': now the measurement units 'pixel' are relative to the original image size. This because the image is responsive and the annotation has need of reference measurement units.

Usage

Mask

Ability to insert an image inside a annotation with shapes rect.

set Mask on annotation variable

shapes: [{
    type: 'rect',
    geometry: { x: 0.2, y: 0.2, width: 0.50, height: 0.5 },
    mask: "http://www.example.com/mymask.jpg",

    style: { //style [OPTIONAL]
        maskTransparency: 0.8, //transparency for annotation mask [0-1] [OPTIONAL]
        maskBorder: true //if false, not show the mask border [OPTIONAL]
    }
}]

set Mask dynamically - setMask(mask, shapeIdx, transparency, border);
- mask: the URL of the mask
- shapeIdx: index of shapes (default: 0)
- transparency transparency of mask [0-1](default: 0.8)
- border flag indicating whether the mask border is shown (default: true)
```
anno.addHandler('onAnnotationCreated', function (annotation) {
    annotation.setMask("http://www.example.com/mymask.jpg");
    anno.reload();
});
```

ColorMode

Ability to draw custom shape without make an annotation. The last drawn pixels coordinate are returned when the mouse is released on onDrawnPixels event.

anno.setColorMode(*enabled*, *insideAnno*, *mode*, *color*, *strokeWidth*);

Modalities of save the drawn pixels:

permanent: pixels are saved until anno.reset() or anno.reload().
active: pixels are saved as long as ColorMode is enabled.
release: the pixels are not saved, they are deleted when the mouse is released.

set ColorMode in the properties

anno.setProperties({        
    colorMode: {
        /* DEFAULT VALUES */
        enabled: false, //if true, enable the colorMode
        insideAnno: false, //if true, is possible draw only inside the annotations [OPTIONAL]            
        mode: "active", // mode of save the drawn pixels ["permanent", "active", "release"] [OPTIONAL]
        color: "#2ECC71", //color of pixels [OPTIONAL]
        strokeWidth: 2, //stroke width of pixels [1-12] [OPTIONAL]
    }
});

set ColorMode using the function

// ENABLE - insideAnno, mode, color and strokeWidth are OPTIONAL
anno.setColorMode(true, true, 'release', '#E74C3C', 1); 

// DISABLE
anno.setColorMode(false);

Get drawn pixels

anno.addHandler('onDrawnPixels', function (event) {
    console.log(event);

        ]
    }
  });

IntersectedAnnotations

Ability to retrieves all annotations that intersect the centroid of an annotation.

anno.getIntersectedAnnotations(*annotation*, *shapeType*);

Function parameters:

annotation: an annotation. The centroid is calculated from the shapes[0] of this variable.
shapeType: if you want to filter the results by shape type; Default undefined, possible values: ['rect', 'point', 'arrow', 'polygon']

The function return an array of the intersect annotations sorted by size, smallest first.

Example of use:

anno.addHandler('onAnnotationCreated', function (annotation, item) {
    var intersectedAnnotations = anno.getIntersectedAnnotations(annotation);
    var intersectedFilteredAnnotations = anno.getIntersectedAnnotations(annotation, 'rect');

    console.log(intersectedAnnotations, intersectedFilteredAnnotations);
});

Reload the annotations

Ability to reload the annotations, the image must have the annotatable class.

anno.reload(*removeProperties*);

anno.reload();

If you want to reload the annotations and remove the properties use: anno.reload(true);.

Events

Added the onMouseMoveOverItem event, fired when the mouse enters an annotatable item. Return the cursor coordinates and bounding box coordinates [measurement units are 'pixels' relative to the original image size]
```
anno.addHandler('onMouseMoveOverItem', function (pixels, event) {
    console.log(pixels); // {cursor: { x, y }, box: { x, y, width, height }}
});
```

Added an old annotation text inside the event onAnnotationUpdated, when editing the annotation.

anno.addHandler('onAnnotationUpdated', function (annotation, old_value) { 
    console.log(old_value);  // {text: "My annotation", textId: "1"}
});

Added the onAnnotationMoved event, fired when the annotation was moved. Return the annotation moved.
```
anno.addHandler('onAnnotationMoved', function (annotation) {
    console.log(annotation); 
});
```
Added the onAnnotationRotated event, fired when the annotation was rotated. Return the annotation rotated.
```
anno.addHandler('onAnnotationRotated', function (annotation) {
    console.log(annotation); 
});
```

Add Multiple Annotations

Added the ability to insert more new annotation to an item on the page. The function accepts an array of annotations.

anno.addAnnotations([myannotation, myannotation1]);

All properties are OPTIONAL and they merge with the existing.
If you set the property such as undefined or empty object (for the objects), then set the default value.
The properties are removed if the anno.reset(); function is called or the anno.reload(true); function is called, retained if the anno.reload(); function is called.
