Why the template is useful and sample usage

Annotated Images allows to create an annotation inside an image. This visual way of communication can be beneficial in pointing out or commenting on specific modules/parts of a design and at the same time create a link to those specific modules/parts. This will enhance the clarity of the wiki towards developers and end-users.

How to use it

Annotated images can be used by embedding the following code in the editing section. The template allows to change the font sizes, colors, width and the amount and locations of annotations within the image

{{Annotated image 4
| caption =
| header =
| header_align =
| header_background =
| alt =
| image =
| align =
| image-width =
| image-left =
| image-top =
| width =
| height =
| annot-font-size =
| annot-text-align =
| icon = <!--none-->
| frameless = <!--true-->
| annotations =
{{Annotation|<!--X-->|<!--Y-->|<!--Wikilink-->}}
{{Annotation|<!--X-->|<!--Y-->|<!--Wikilink-->}}
