Image annotation (areas, rectangles) #669
Description
Feature Request Form
Feature request from Zendesk: https://hypothesis.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/2563
Image annotation is mentioned in hypothesis/vision#51, but not anywhere in our backlog that I can find.
Problem you are trying to address with this feature
Currently annotations can only anchor to lines of text or to pages (as Page Notes). There is no way to annotate images or areas of pages.
Your solution
User has requested the ability to highlight an area of a page / document by creating a rectangle or box. There are other ways to implement, but this is how this user would expect the feature to work.
