Extend textbox capability with pointing arrows #214

Open bytesnz opened 8 years ago

Add textbox arrows.

How about something like this?... 2015-12-03_10-17-25

This is a Bluebeam interface, which a lot of architects/engineers use.

Obviously the arrows, leaders might be too much for an initial stab--perhaps more a road map thing.

Grab handles on the box might be too much too... perhaps just a text box that has a set width at this point.

In this UI example, which is hard to see in the .gif, the user double clicks on the text box to enter into edit mode. To finish (or finish edit mode) the user clicks somewhere outside the text.

To move the text box around, the user just clicks and holds while dragging.
