[oXygen-user] Integrating an SVG editor with oXygen

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Bob,

Markus Wiedenmaier created a custom action to annotate an image in a 
DITA document using an external image editor, Inkscape was the one I 
tested this action with.
Basically you trigger the action on an image and that action takes the 
image inside Inkspace where you can add different annotations or perform 
different transformation on the image, like crop for example. The result 
SVG from Inskape replaces then the actual image in the DITA document.
This is a nice way of adding annotations or changes to an image while 
keeping the original image unchanged.
You can find a demo of this in a recording from our users meetup from 
Prague this year

While this is not exactly the action you want, it is close and a little 
more complex, so creating a new image though an external editor is also 
possible and probably Markus can easily change his action to do that.

Best Regards,
George
