Package org.cytoscape.view.presentation.annotations
CyNetworkView. Annotations currently include
shapes ShapeAnnotation,
text TextAnnotation,
bounded text BoundedTextAnnotation, and
images ImageAnnotation. In addition
to the standard annotations the pacakge also supports connectors
ArrowAnnotation that can connect
an annotation to a point, another annotation, or to a CyNode.
Annotations are created by calls to the appropriate
org.cytoscape.view.presentation.annotations.AnnotationFactory#createAnnotation().
In general, each annotation type has it's own AnnotationFactory. To get the correct
factory, in your CyActivator, you will need do a filtered org.cytoscape.service.util.AbstractCyActivator#getService():
AnnotationFactory<ShapeAnnotation> shapeFactory = getService(bc, AnnotationFactory.class, "(type=ShapeAnnotation.class)");
Once an annotation is created, it must be added to the
AnnotationManager, which will actually
draw the annotation on the canvas.
In general, each type of annotation has it's own set of getter
and setter routines that are appropriate for annotation type. Annotations are
serialized and deserialized through CyTable entries.
Annotation parameters may be set at creation time by setting the appropriate
values in a arg map.

ClassDescriptionThis is the base interface for all Annotations.AnnotationFactory<T extends Annotation>An interface describing a factory used to create
Annotations.The annotation manager is responsible for managing all of the annotations currently assigned to a particularorg.cytoscape.view.model.NetworkView.This is the interface for an arrow annotation.This enum is used to indicate how the arrow is anchored to the source or target.This enum is used to indicate which end of the arrow the operation is referring to.The BoundedText annotation is a ShapeAnnotation that also implements Text.The GroupAnnotation is a container for a collection of annotations that should be grouped together.This annotation positions an image on on the screen.A Shape annotation supports annotations that can be drawn and filled on the graphics canvas.A text annotation is a simple text string that is displayed on the network canvas.
