annotator provides functions to create image annotations through polygon outlining. Annotator has the same function asgraphics::locator() but achieves its purpose through drawing, rather than multiple mouse clicks.

annotator is based onfabric.js, a Javascript HTML5 canvas library andhtmlwidgets, a package that provides a framework for creating R bindings to JavaScript libraries.

The main function of the package isannotate(path_to_image). Polygons can be outlined on the image and polygon's coordinates are returned after each draw.

annotator makes it easy to create annotation pipelines inshiny. A minimal Shiny app demonstrating a simple pipeline can be found onshinyapps.io.
