This project combines the OpenSeadragon zoomable image viewer with PaperJS-based annotations drawn into a synced zoomable overlay.
To get started with a basic overlay, only a couple lines of code are needed.
// import the PaperOverlay object. You need to be using a JavaScript module.
// if paper.js is not already included, it will be automatically loaded during import
import { PaperOverlay } from './src/js/paper-overlay.mjs';
// viewer creation, get reference to a TiledImage
let viewer = new OpenSeadragon({...});
let tiledImage = viewer.world.getItemAt(0);
// create a paper.js object
let myPaperItem = new paper.Path(...); // configure your paper item however you want
// add a PaperOverlay to the viewer
viewer.createPaperOverlay();
// add the paper.js item you've previously created to the overlay
tiledImage.addPaperItem(myPaperItem);
// you can modify the paper.js item using normal paper.js functionality
myPaperItem.fillColor = 'blue';
// A special `rescale` property can be used to automatically adjust properties during zooming
myPaperItem.rescale = {strokeWidth: 2}
See the JSDoc documentation pages for information about how to use the library.
Tool and project events: Tools emit item-created, item-updated, and item-converted (and the project re-emits them). Subscribe on a tool or on the project to react to annotation creation and edits. See docs/tool-and-project-events.md.
Annotation UI styles are scoped under .osd-paperjs-annotation so they do not style unrelated page chrome. AnnotationToolkit adds that class to viewer.element; official toolbar/layer UI from getToolbar() / getLayerUI() include a built-in scope wrapper. Custom DOM outside those roots may need the same class. See docs/css-scoping.md.
See the Demo pages to try out the functionality.
View and annotate slides from any Digital Slide Archive instance. Enter the base URL for the DSA in the box and press the "Open DSA" button. Some archives may have publically available slides to view, but to save changes you will need to be logged in.
Customized version of the Digital Slide Archive Annotator that adds tools specifically for reviewing and modifying bounding boxes for AI training.
