I didn’t like, that I had to switch between the segmentation and annotation tabs to add an annotation (usually, at the end of a checked branch), so I’ve made a script, with which you can use the middle button to add a point from any tab. If you’re working using a touchpad, the middle button is often emulated by touching the pad with three fingers.
The points are white, but if you’d like to change the color, just open the script, search for “white” (near the beginning of the script) and replace it with either an English name of the color or its hexadecimal representation (prefixed with a # sign).
The annotations are added to a tab named “annotation”. If you don’t have such tab, the script will create it.
The script is very basic, assumes many things, works by interacting with the UI (vs. using the API) and wasn’t tested thoroughly, so bugs are very probable.
I don’t find the way to disable the 3D image plane (or putting it to transparent). I tried all opacity in all render section (in all tabs) but nothing do the job. this plane is frustrating.
Thanks so much for creating this add on! Would you be able to add an alternate key for Mac trackpad, currently this doesn’t seem to work. Maybe CMD+left click, as I’m reading that that is often used as middle click on Mac. But whatever makes sense would be fine!
Sorry about that. I’ve made a simple mistake in the logic. I’ve updated the script to the version 0.1.1.1, which should finally work both for Windows’ middle click and Mac’s cmd+left click.
but thanks for trying! It’s functional on Mac with a mouse though
