Bug Description

It would be nice to have a single tool to do a callout.

See http://www.chartfu.com/images/ChartFuCallout.gif for an example.

To do this now, I have to create a line, a rectangle, and a text box. Each of these is independent, so if changing it, I may have to edit three objects.

I've added some nice callout shapes to the DrawingTool (being released with Shutter 0.86).

Due to the fact that these files are in SVG format they can nicely be resized. There will be no built-in functionality to edit text within the callouts but you can create a textarea and move it onto the callout.

This is all I can do for now. Time is limited currently.
