A comprehensive component for tagging images. Check out demo 1 and demo 2 for some examples.

Features

• Bounding Box (Rectangle, Square, Circle, and Ellipse), and Polygon Annotations
• Add, Edit, Drag, Rotate, and Delete Annotations
• Zoom and Pan
• Changing image on the fly
• Colorful annotations
• Raw or typed input/output

Usage

Install react-image-label using npm.

npm install react-image-label

Then you can just import the component and its hook:

import { ImageAnnotator, useImageAnnotator } from 'react-image-label';

and use it as below:

const { setHandles, annotator } = useImageAnnotator();

<ImageAnnotator
  setHandles={setHandles}
  naturalSize={true}
  imageUrl={'your-image-url'}
  onReady={annotator => { annotator.drawRectangle() }} />

Now you can draw rectangles on the image by dragging the left mouse button.

Mouse and Keyboard events

• click: Edit/Stop Edit Annotations
• Ctrl + mouse wheel: Zoom
• Ctrl + mouse drag: Pan
• Delete key: Delete Annotations
• mouse drag: Drag/Edit/Rotate Annotations

Props

The following props can be defined on ImageAnnotator:

Prop	Type	Description	Default
imageUrl *	string	Use a state for image url if you want to change it on the fly
shapes	Shape[] | any[]	Annotations being displayed on load (see shapes)
naturalSize	boolean	To show image in its natural size	false
width	number	container width	image.naturalWidth
height	number	container height	image.naturalHeight
discRadius	number	The radius of the green discs in edit mode	5
hideBorder	boolean	To Hide annotation border	false
onAdded	Shape => any	When an annotation is drawn (see Annotations with Categories)
onSelected	Shape => any	When an annotation goes into edit mode by double-clicking
onContextMenu	Shape => any	When an annotation is right-clicked (see Annotations with Categories)
onReady	AnnotatorHandles => any	When the component is mounted

(*) required props

Handles

You can access the handles using the annotator object as follows:

<button onClick={() => { annotator.drawCircle() }}>Draw Circle</button>

Below is a list of all handles:

Handle	Type	Description
drawCircle	() => void	Allows drawing circles by dragging the left mouse button
drawEllipse	() => void	Allows drawing ellipses by dragging the left mouse button
drawRectangle	() => void	Allows drawing rectangles by dragging the left mouse button (keep the shift key to draw square)
drawPolygon	() => void	Allows drawing polygons by clicking and double-clicking
drawDot	() => void	Allows adding dots (points) by clicking
stop	() => void	Stops draw/edit/drag mode
edit	(id: number) => void	The annotation identified by id can be edited and dragged
stopEdit	() => void	Stops editing and dragging
updateCategories	(id: number, categories: string[], color?: string) => void	Updates the categories associated with the annotation identified by id
zoom	(factor: number) => void	Multiplies the dimensions by factor
getShapes	() => Shape[]	Gets all annotations (shapes)
container	HTMLDivElement	The div wrapping the SVG

Annotations with Categories

To attach one or more categories to an annotation, utilize onAdded and onContextMenu props being called when an annotation is drawn and right-clicked, respectively. Use shape.categories to get the previous categories as string[]:

const showCategoriesDialog = (shape) => {
  console.log(shape.id) // 1
  console.log(shape.getCenterWithOffset()) // { X: 247.5, Y: 193 }
  console.log(shape.categories) // string []
  // Show a category selection component
}

return (
  <ImageAnnotator
    onAdded={showCategoriesDialog}
    onContextMenu={showCategoriesDialog}
    ...
);

Finally, call annotator.updateCategories to update the categories of the annotation.

Shapes

The data models for all shapes are listed below:

Shape	Data Model	type Value
Circle	{ id: number, centre: [number, number], radius: number, categories: string[], type: string, color: string }	circle
Ellipse	{ id: number, centre: [number, number], radiusX: number, radiusY: number, phi: number, categories: string[], type: string, color: string }	ellipse
Rectangle	{ id: number, points: [number, number][], phi: number, categories: string[], type: string, color: string }	rectangle
Polygon	{ id: number, points: [number, number][], categories: string[], type: string, color: string }	polygon
Dot	{ id: number, position: [number, number], categories: string[], type: string, color: string }	dot

Dependencies

The package is dependent on SVG.js through react-svgdotjs package. The following peer dependencies must be specified by your project in order to avoid version conflicts: react, react-dom. NPM will not automatically install these for you but it will show you a warning message with instructions on how to install them.
