Screenshot Captor / Re: Coming soon.. Arrows, callouts, textboxes
« Last post by mouser on August 13, 2005, 09:29 AM »thats a qood question about format..
i can load vector art in emf or wmf format, or any raster format.
if its raster format it should probably be pretty high-resolution so that it can be scaled to a large size (say 640x480) and still look good.
i wonder if there is already some simple callout image format already defines that includes info about where text should be placed.. if not i was thinking something very simple like this:
there would be a subdirectory in ScreenshotCaptor directory labeled StampsAndCallouts
in that directory would be images, and with some images a simple text file describing the coordinates of a rectangular box where the text would go.
so we would just have images there that would be useful for adding to screenshots, like maybe a "new!" sticker image.
and also callouts, which would exist like:
BubbleCallout.wmf (the image)
BubbleCallout.textboxinfo (would simply contain a line like "10,10,200,20" specifying the location of the text box that should be created inside the image when placed on the screen).
users will be able to add their own stamps and callouts just by placing files in that directory, i just thought it would be nice to have a few samples. maybe you can help make some ampa after i get the feature working.
