Annotate Support

[Ezra Sharp]

I'd like to be able to take a screenshot, type text on it, doodle on it, maybe draw some simple shapes or speech bubbles, before I email it off or upload it to Launchpad.

- Text type
- draw simple shapes (arrow. circle, square, speech bubble etc..)
- freehand doodle/draw (red or blue or green or yellow)
- yellow highlighter pen

with undo support.

I agree i need such tools too. However a better place for this might be a graphics editor.

[Ezra Sharp (nicekiwi)]

Why a graphics editor?

Apple includes such an option inline in its Mail Client.

MS Windows includes such tools in its screenshot application.

Why should I have to open a separate app to annotate an image that I can
already resize, crop, rotate, remove red eye and adjust lightening within
the picture viewer? All of those seem like things that should be in a
graphics editor too.

Something like the gimp or inkscape is in no UX friendly shape to provide
this for eOS's target audience.
