[annotator-dev] color-coding annotated text by tagtype

Sun Feb 16 07:54:31 UTC 2014

Hi Randall,
Just closing this out per our offline conversation excerpted below.

Indeed, the annotationsLoaded event works (and can be subscribed to just like the events that are documented on the link below - it may be very helpful to add this to the documentation, along with any other important annotator functions). 
I assume there is a way to modify the number of annotations loaded at one time?

Thanks so much for all your help!
regards

'annotationsLoaded' appears to be not documented there, but should work on a recent copy of Annotator.

It won't be guaranteed that *all* annotations are loaded at that time, since they may be loaded in batches.

The argument for that event is an array of the annotations which have been loaded.

You can access the highlights directly from those via `annotation.highlights`, which is a jQuery object encompassing all the highlight spans for that annotation.

Thanks. The filter is the easy part - I can write it manually if I can grab the annotations/tags etc, or I can use the shortcut you suggested based on classname.

Does `$('.annotator-hl').each(function () { this.data('annotation').tags })` give you what you need?

In that function block you could set an additional class on the annotation based on the tags and color via CSS.

Hi,
>I am a newbie to HTML/CSS/JS - looking for the fastest way to modify the annotator to: color code the annotated text (not the annotations) by tag type. Eventually, I would also like to present a preset menu of tags and associated colors to the user. 
>If I could get a hold of all annotations and their tags, I can simply write a function that changes the color of each annotation based on its tag. This sort of works (if I don't refresh the webpage) but the class "annotator-hl" may conflict with my newly defined color classes "annotator-hl-color_j."
