Point annotation tool about annotorious-v2-selector-pack

Q: how to represent a point selection in the W3C model?

• Media Fragment selectors strictly require xywh syntax. Possibly, we could use something like xywh=pixel:273,171,0,0?
• SVG doesn't have a point element. Perhaps it could be represented by a (zero-radius) circle? Or, better, a <path> with a single point, e.g. <path d="M10 10"/>

On second thought... this might be better as an addition to the selector pack

Any progress on this?

Nothing has happened yet, I'm afraid. (There are a few minor tweaks needed inside Annotorious to make the point selection tool/icon work properly across zoom levels in responsive mode, and on OpenSeadragon.) I can't give a firm arrival date for this yet, but it's definitely coming... in the next month or so, fingers crossed.

Point annotation tool is now available! 🎉 Make sure to use it only with a recent release of Annotorious (v2.6.0+)

hi, I'm using point tool and it just don't scale correctly when I change zoom lv unlike other tools, any fix for it?
also I need to change its style a bit to show whats behind it when I select it, is there any way to do this?

[rsimon]

The point annotation tool uses constant-size markers. They are supposed to keep the same size, regardless of the current scale. If you are looking for a circle that zooms along with the image, you are probably looking for the circle tool.

Both tools (point and circle) are rendered as SVG circle elements, and you can change their styles via CSS, in a very similar way than the built-in rectangle and polygon tools. Documentation for rectangle and polygon is here:

Hope this helps!

Did you install the selector pack plugin properly? What does anno.listDrawingTools() say?
