Draw a highlight polygon

The Draw Highlight polygon drawing tool draws a semi-transparent colored closed polygon on top of an area of the image. This is similar to using a highlight marker on paper to draw a shape, such as a hexagon. The following examples show a highlight polygon drawn on an image. The second example shows the toolbar and resize controls for the annotation.

The highlight polygon annotation is not available for images stored in an Image Services library.

  1. To draw a highlight polygon:
    1. Click the Highlight Polygon drawing tool.
    2. Click at the starting point for the polygon.
    3. Move the cursor to the next point of the polygon, then click again.
    4. Repeat step 3 for each point of the polygon shape.
    5. To end the polygon shape, double-click at the last point.
    Note: You can cancel the polygon by double-clicking at the end of the first side.
  2. To select a highlight polygon after drawing it:
    1. Click the Select/edit tool on the annotation toolbar.
    2. Click on or inside the polygon. This displays the toolbar you use to adjust the security, line thickness, line color, fill color, or position.
  3. To resize the polygon:
    1. Drag the pink box outward (right or down) to expand the entire polygon.
    2. Drag the pink box inward (left or up) to contract the entire polygon.
    3. Drag a yellow box to resize the two sides meeting at that point on the polygon.
  4. To change the line thickness:
    1. Click the Change Line Thickness buttons in the toolbar to change the thickness of the line.
  5. To change the line color:
    1. Click the Line Color button to open the Color Picker.
    2. Select the desired color from the Color Picker.
    3. Click OK to save the color changes.
  6. To change the fill color:
    1. Click the Fill Color button to open the Color Picker.
    2. Select the desired color from the Color Picker. To make the fill completely transparent, click the X instead of a specific color. To make the fill semi-transparent, select a color.
    3. Click OK to save the color changes.
  7. To move an annotation:
    1. Click the Select/edit annotation tool on the annotation toolbar.
    2. Click on the annotation and hold down the mouse button while you drag the annotation to a new location.
    3. When the annotation is in the correct location, release the mouse button.
  8. To save your annotation changes:
    1. Click the Save button in the Annotation toolbar (at the left of the Image Viewer window) to save the annotations with the image.
      Tip: The Fix button in the Annotation Customization toolbar does not save your changes with the Image.
