Add text annotation feature

Open bk138 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Text annotation: for example, point to the beginning of the text, and a cursor is rendered and a single line of non-formatted text can be placed in the screen, with the current color;

When I used windows I daily used the Snagit utility ( https://www.techsmith.com/store/snagit ) to annotate screenshots. I would dearly love the ability to annotate my desktop screen with keyboard text in my choice of colours.

Nice! You basically have to read through the source:

  • callbacks is generally all gtk callbacks
  • config handles .ini and .cfg file parsing
  • drawing contains everything drawing related
  • input handles input
  • main has the entry point and some general purpose functions
