Squeaky Data Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Does anyone know of a plugin that will allow the user to make annotations on an image stored in a container field in FileMaker 8.5. It would also be nice if they could draw basic lines and shapes on the image. I have found several plugins that will let me crop, rotate and make other modifications but nothing that will let me draw or annotate an image. I seem to recall seeing a plugin many years ago for FileMaker 5/6 that would let you scrible on an image in a container field but can't seem to find any reference to it.
Newbies HeyBill Posted June 8, 2007 Newbies Posted June 8, 2007 Sorry that I don't have an answer, but if you find a plugin that will allow annotation, creation of raster graphics (with scaling and measures) I'd appreciate you letting me know.
Newbies HeyBill Posted June 13, 2007 Newbies Posted June 13, 2007 Okay, I've used 2 plug ins to annotate a picture with lines. I used xmCharts and MouseGrabber. xmCharts allows me to add the line and mousegrabber gets the coordinates. So, I have a script that grabs the start and finish for each end of a line then draws it. By using repeating globals, I can store numerous coordinates and connect them... even in different colors and widths. I suppose you could also make it make squares an such by locating opposite corners. I have a chessy example. Is there a place to post it?
