Annotorious OpenSeadragon Textlayer Extension

A text layer extension for Annotorious OpenSeadragon v3. Includes support for the ALTO/XML format.

Getting Started

Via npm

npm install --save @annotorious/openseadragon-textlayer

Note that this extension works only with Annotorious OSD v3.

npm install --save @annotorious/openseadragon

Code example:

import { createOSDAnnotator } from '@annotorious/openseadragon';
import { mountExtension, transcriptionLabel } from '@annotorious/openseadragon-textlayer';

const viewer = OpenSeadragon({
  // ...init OpenSeadragon viewer
});

// init Annotorious 
const anno = createOSDAnnotator(viewer);

// init the text layer extension 
const textlayer = mountExtension(anno, {
  label: transcriptionLabel,
  mode: 'fixedPageSize',
  position: 'center',
  offsetY: 60
});

// load ALTO file
textlayer.loadOCR('alto-sample.xml');

Using via Script Import

Make sure you have OpenSeadragon and the AnnotoriousOSD script and stylesheetin imported in your page.

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- ... -->

    <!-- include script file -->
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@annotorious/openseadragon-textlayer@latest/dist/annotorious-openseadragon-textlayer.js"></script>

    <!-- include CSS styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@annotorious/openseadragon-textlayer@latest/dist/annotorious-openseadragon-textlayer.css">
  </head>
</html>

When using script import, Annotorious and the Text Layer extension expose their APIs through global variables AnnotoriousOSD and OSDTextLayer.

window.onload = function() {
  var viewer = OpenSeadragon({
    // ...init OpenSeadragon viewer
  });

  // init Annotorious
  var anno = AnnotoriousOSD.createOSDAnnotator(viewer);

  // init the text layer extension
  var textlayer = OSDTextLayer.mountExtension(anno, {
    label: OSDTextLayer.transcriptionLabel,
    mode: 'fixedPageSize',
    position: 'center',
    offsetY: 50
  });

  // load ALTO file
  textlayer.loadOCR('alto-sample.xml');
}

API

Init Options

The text layer extension supports the following initialization options:

Option	Type	Default	Description
defaultVisible	boolean	`true`	Defines whether text layer is visible by default
label	Fuction	-	A function which takes an `ImageAnnotation` as argument and must return a string to display as label
mode	string	`fixedScreenSize`	Label display mode: `fixedScreenSize`, `fixedPageSize` or `fillBounds`
offsetX	number	0	X offset from the default position, pixels, original base image resolution
offsetY	number	0	Y offset from the default position, pixels, original base image resolution
position	string	`bottomleft`	label position relative to the annotation bounding box: `topleft`, `bottomleft` or `center`

API

The textlayer object exposes the following API methods:

isLocked() returns true if OpenSeadragon is currently locked, so mouse drag will select text
isVisible() returns true if the text layer is currently visible
loadOCR(url: string) loads an ALTO/XML file from the given URL
setLocked(locked: boolean) changes lock status of the OpenSeadragon layer
setVisible(visible: boolean) changes the visibility of the text layer
unmount() unmounts the extension and destroys the text layer‚

Customizing Styles

Most aspects of the appearance can be controlled via CSS. Selecting .a9s-osd-text-layer .annotation span allows you to override the default styles.

.a9s-osd-textlayer .annotation span {
  color: #d80bde;
  font-size: 60px;
  text-shadow: 0 0 6px rgb(255 255 255 / 95%);
}
