Image (GIFF/TIFF) Editor [message #94927] Thu, 18 September 2003 19:22 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
My current project needs to load/display a scanned document (image) in an
editor, and support annotation of that document (i.e. lasso, marquie,
annotate, highlite, etc.).

Can GEF be used to load an image from a file, and then apply edits
(drawing/text/etc.) to that image? Preferably the edits would apply to a
layer above the image, rather than modifying the original bitmap/image.

Even better, does something like this already exist that I could leverage?

Thanks,
-Mitch

This does not exist. You could create such an application with GEF.
Painting into an SWT image might be slow if you want to do anything other
than just pure GC calls, such as drawing aliased lines. You might also end
up heavily customizing the undo mechanism, since you might use snapshots to
rollback paints.
