Whole canvas annotation?

[illtud]

Hi Glen,
Playing around with this, it seems to require an xywh region for the annotation. We have transcriptions which haven't been tied to any region of the page, can we do a whole canvas annotation without getting the xywh for the image and creating a whole canvas region?

Hey Illtud,

You are correct that currently the annotations require a xywh. If the annotation targets the canvas the correct way to do it is as you say to target just the canvas URI without the xywh but I haven't tested it to see if SAS would accept it. I can have a look to see if it will. How were you thinking of displaying these annotations? I can't find any information on whether Mirador can create or display annotations target at the canvas.

Cheers

Glen

Ah, SAS bombs out if there's no #xywh on the end of the target - it fails to parse the string as it splits it on # and tries to do something with the second part. We're using UV, not Mirador, so I don't think it will deal with it out of the box, but we'll see what we can do!

Thanks Illtud, Ill keep this issue open and if I get a chance Ill add the functionality to support whole canvas annotations.
