Annotating¶
In this section, we’ll go over how to use the image annotator for creating annotated charts.
Examples of Annotated Images
9.1. Image Annotator¶
The Image Annotator Visualizer allows for quick and easy image annotating via drag-and-drop. It works for all datasets and is the most recommended way to convey information.
Figure 4: Image Annotator
- Upload local image to annotate.
- Choose an image from the dataset to annotate.
Choose an image from the dataset or upload a new one to add it to the chart area. Then, drag-and-drop data columns from the left panel onto the image. Annotations can be moved around by clicking and dragging as well. Click on the A in the upper right corner of the chart area to add shapes, arrows and text. Labels are added by clicking anywhere and specifying text. There is no need to annotate the image will in Edit Viz mode as we can annotate our images at any time. Watch the following video to see how it’s done:
Here is our final annotated image for our fruit dataset, showing a visual summary of the data.
