visual cue for selected annotation
----------------------------------
Key: UIMA-1183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1183
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sandbox-CasEditor
Affects Versions: 2.2.2
Reporter: Philip Ogren
It is often hard to tell which annotation is selected. For example, when you
click on an annotation in the outline, nothing changes in the text pane. This
can be very disorienting if you have many annotations of the same type close
together. Some visual cue would be very helpful. The default behavior in
knowtator is to draw black lines above and below the span of the selected
annotation. Another provided option is to fade out all of the other
annotations leaving only the selected annotation a bright color. (I like the
former better).
Additionally, it would be nice if the annotations related via type features to
the selected annotation could be visualized in the text pane. Knowtator does
this by drawing dashed lines above and below the annotations that are related
to the selected annotation.
