May 31, 200718 yr 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.

June 13, 200718 yr Newbies 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?
