           Summary: Wish: Add an arrow/line tool and integrate it into the
                    insert text tool
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: djgroos at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Digikam has a great balance of simplicity and power.  It's interface is fairly
intuitive and students can use it on the linux computers in my room as well as
on a mac or window machine if that's what they have at home.

I would like to use this as a standard tool in my science classes.  The 'insert
text' tool is great and I really like it's semi-transparent background.  For
this to be really useful students need a way of precisely labeling locations of
their image.  For example, imagine students taking a picture of a flower from
their home or elsewhere, then being able to label all the flower parts
precisely and eloquently.

I am picturing this arrow/line tool would be located on some part of the text
box.  When you click and drag from that location a line is extended.  A student
would then 'drop' the tip of the line at whatever location of the image
pertained to the text box.  It would be important that a student could
re-select the tip of that line and move it as necessary.  This line tip would
need to be able to be precisely located--not just to, for example, a 3 mm grid.
 Also, in general it would be best if the line originated at the center of the
text box, although of course, it wouldn't appear until it reached the edge of
the text box.
