Annotation Function
Document Viewer provides the functions for adding various graphics and text to an image. The graphics
and text added to an image are called <Annotation>.
The annotation function, unlike usual image editing applications, does not change an image itself but lays
graphics and texts onto an image. Annotations and the original image are displayed as one image.
Annotations are managed separately from image data. Therefore, the Document Viewer can switch
between displaying and hiding annotations.
If an image is edited with the Document Viewer, and is exported (sent) to another image editing
application, whether to attach the annotation to an image or not can be selected.
