The annotator is a section which doesn't store any information itself. It provides an interface to manipulate content from other fields. Here's a basic setup of the plugin within your blueprint:
columns:
- width: 2/3
sections:
annotator:
type: annotator
storage:
src: src
markers: markers
- width: 1/3
sections:
myfields:
type: fields
fields:
src:
type: files
max: 1
markers:
type: structure
fields:
(...)
With all the default options explicitely set:
columns:
- width: 2/3
sections:
annotator:
type: annotator
tools:
- pin
- rect
- circle
colors:
- orange
- yellow
- green
- blue
- purple
- pink
theme: light
debug: false
max: false
storage:
color: color
src: src
markers: markers
- width: 1/3
sections:
myfields:
type: fields
fields:
color:
type: text
disabled: true
src:
type: files
max: 1
markers:
type: structure
fields:
(...)
You can use this plugin within a file page by setting it like stated above, but skipping the src
option within the storage
settings. The plugin will automatically detect the image of the given page.
See to the complete example above to see how to use them.
type:
array
, default: all tools listed above
You have 3 tools available : pin
, rect
and circle
. All of them are visible by default, at least one should be provided.
type:
array
, default: all colors listed above
You have 6 predefined colors available to choose from. All of them are visible by default, at least one should be provided. If there's no color storage specified, the first color of the list will be used on load.
type:
string
, default:light
You have two themes available, a dark and a light one.
type:
boolean
, default:false
When set to true
, a Zoom button will show in the toolbar. On click, it will toggle the full size of the image, letting you set the marker even more precisely (desktop only).
type:
boolean
, default:false
When set to true
, mouse coordinates will be shown in real-time in the toolbar. Not needed unless you're trying to extend some functionality.
The section needs to be synced with a field returning an image url to work with.
In theory, using a select
field might work, but I strongly recommend using a files
field and limiting it to a single file. Not only does it look nicer, but most importantly it returns an absolute url of the file:
# annotator section
storage:
src: src
# fields section
src:
type: files
max: 1
Note: You don’t need to explicitly set a
max
value, though it may look clearer. When confronted to a files field containing multiple files, the plugin will always use the first one.
The plugin needs an associated structure field to store the markers informations. It has 5 reserved fields that shouldn't be used for any other purpose: type
, x
, y
,w
and h
. Those will be automatically set and don't need to be explicitely specified unless you want to show them within the panel:
# annotator section
storage:
markers: markers
# fields section
markers:
type: structure
fields:
type:
label: 'Type'
type: text
x:
label: 'x'
type: text
y:
label: 'y'
type: text
w:
label: 'w'
type: text
h:
label: 'h'
type: text
Otherwise, you can directly start adding fields you'd like to sync content with:
# annotator section
storage:
markers: markers
# fields section
markers:
type: structure
fields:
mynote:
label: 'Note'
type: text
You can limit the number of markers by setting the max
option in the annotator section's options.
If you want to set a minimum number of markers, set the min
option directly within the structure field's options.
sections:
annotator:
type: annotator
max: 4
...
fields:
markers:
type: structure
min: 2
Without any associated color
field, the plugin won't remember the last color used within the editor, and will always fallback to the first one when loading the component. Setting a color storage is pretty straightforward:
# annotator section
storage:
color: color
# fields section
color:
type: text
disabled: true
Note that the plugin needs to have access to the field element within the panel view to update the color on the fly, therefore it cannot be of
type: hidden
. If you want to hide it visually, you'll have to work your way there with a custom panel css.
If you want to ensure that the structure field will only contain markers, you can hide the Add +
button of the field. This way, there will be no alternative to populate it other than the annotator section.
Add this in a custom panel.css
:
.k-field-mymarkersfield .k-field-header button {
display: none;
}
Markers are stored in a structure field, which means we need to create a collection with the toStructure()
method. I will refer to a variable named $marker
in the examples below, this is how we get it:
foreach($page->markers()->toStructure() as $marker) {
// now we have a $marker variable
}
Each marker has a set of coordinates, proportional to the image.
These coordinates are limited to 4 decimals, and return a value between 0
and 1
. Kirby might return them as strings, so remember to always make sure that you're getting a number before working with them :
echo $marker->x()->toFloat()
Each marker also has its type specified as a string, either pin
, rect
or circle
.
This is the kind of output to expect:
type: 'pin'
x: 0.50 #(if 50% from the left)
y: 0.50 #(if 50% from the top)
w: 0
y: 0
This is the kind of output to expect:
type: 'rect'
x: 0.50 #(if 50% from the left)
y: 0.50 #(if 50% from the top)
w: 0.25 #(if 25% of the width)
y: 0.25 #(if 25% of the height)
Please note two things:
-
the
x
andy
coordinates are the ones of the circle's center. This means you'll have to move the marker element with:transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-
w
andh
are calculated for the ellipse to be a perfect circle. This means that they will match if the image is squared, but will differ if it is not, in order to compensate for the proportional difference between width and height. Therefore you can set on the element:border-radius: 50%;
This is the kind of output to expect:
type: 'circle'
x: 0.50 #(center is 50% from the left)
y: 0.50 #(center is 50% from the top)
w: 0.25 #(diameter is 25% of the width)
y: 0.3275 #(diameter is still the same, but adjusted to match the image ratio)
// Check if the marker is a [pin / rect / circle].
// Returns true or false.
$marker->type()->isPin()
$marker->type()->isRect()
$marker->type()->isCircle()
// Check if the marker is not a [pin / rect / circle].
// Returns true or false.
$marker->type()->isNotPin()
$marker->type()->isNotRect()
$marker->type()->isNotCircle()
// Convert the value to a float and multiply it by 100.
// Returns a number.
$marker->x()->toPercent() // returns 50
// Convert the value to a float, multiply it by 100 and append a '%'.
// Returns a string.
$marker->x()->toPercentString() // returns '50%'
Returns a properly formated inline style, according to the marker's type.
echo markerStyle($marker);
// if $marker is a pin
returns 'left:50%; top:50%;'
// if $marker is a rectangle
returns 'left:50%; top:50%; width:25%; height:25%;'
// if $marker is a circle
returns 'left:50%; top:50%; width:25%; height:32.75%; border-radius:50%; transform:translate(-50%, -50%);'
<?php if($image = $page->src()->toFile()): ?>
<div>
<?php foreach($page->markers()->toStructure() as $marker): ?>
<div class="marker" style="<?php echo markerStyle($marker); ?>"></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image->url() ?>">
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
In your CSS:
.marker {
position: absolute;
}
