I want to create a user guide in HTML format which contains screenshot images.
OK so far.
Then I want to add annotations to those images (which are screenshots of forms with some controls).
The annotations are describing those controls.
This will be done more than once (each time the form is changed,...)
There are no dynamic effects necessary, the annotations should be displayed statically.
What would be a simple, easily maintainable way to to this?
Instead of using pure HTML I have had good success with strapdown.js so far, only the annotations are a missing feature.
Any hints are welcome, maybe "annotation" is not a good description of what I am doing...
edit: the annotations should be displayed on top of the image (as would be done with a image editor and drawing a textbox directly in the image).
K.I.S.S. - keep it simple, stupid

Currently I have placed sprites and I have the events as in the example on the page: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/dataviz/v1/developers_guide/examples/handling_sprite_events/.
But I don't know how to add information with a pop up as seen on the web.
How to do this with the information and displaying it in Forge: Objective
I have not found any information on how to do it and the example on Github https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-dataviz-iot-reference-app/tree/main/client/pages I don't quite understand it, already that many things are mixed. If someone could help me. I am starting on this.
Basically what you want to achieve is to display an html div on hover and hide it when not hovering.
You can inspire from this post Placing custom markup which is pretty close to what you want to achieve.
However, the examples you mention are using the Data Visualization extension and the React component called CustomTooltip. If you are using React in your project you can definitly take a look at the Hyperion's reference app.
can any one tell me how to convert html markup to an image and save it. i tried researching on google but i did not find anything. it would be great if you could provide me any resource or article to achieve the functionality. OR is it possible to take a screen shot of the rendered html on the browser and save it as an image? please let me know
You could achieve that using an JavaScript library called html2canvas. This library will allow you to take screenshots of a webpage.
The screenshots are usually saved as a canvas element, which you can easily convert to an image later on.
Refer here to learn more about the library and the use cases.
This is using MVC 4 with Visual Studio 2013:
I am wondering on how I would approach changing the text of my website dynamically through the click of a button. This is also the same for contrast. I am wondering if there's any plug ins or approaches I can take to do this?
Heres an example of it being implemented correctly : http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/guides/change_colours/#
Giving different text sizes and contrasts etc. How would I approach this?
My idea was to have a button that calls the same CSS sheet with the new colour /contracts. But that would mean I would need about 4-5 CSS sheets that are exactly the same with just the text/contrast changing. Is there a better approach to this?
May be Observables and data-binding is your best solution here.
Basically, you can bind your html with observables (your data model). When your data model's state changes, your UI updates automatically and vice-versa. It follows the MVVM pattern.
One of the most popular libraries out their for MVVM is Knockout.js (Here: http://knockoutjs.com/) This will make your life much easier! It made mine. :-)
Hope this helps!
Is there any way to embed any of the graphs from Github (any of the 4 found at https://github.com/Vizzuality/CartoDB-SQL-API/graphs)? For example, this one showing the changes in the lines of code.
Since the structure of the page is consistent, I'm pretty sure I can scrape it, but that's a bit cheeky at best. Note that I want the image itself - not the whole page - that is contained in the div:
<div class="graphs wheader">
This question is the nearest thing I've found for this, but obviously doesn't apply for Github. Would rather not reinvent the wheel!
PS: that's not the project I'm interested in embedding, it's just that that one has enough data on it to show.
Those graphs are built dynamically via javascript (d3.js) and SVG. This makes them fairly difficult to extract. However, you might be able to recreate them; inspect the javascript resources on the given page which are used to build the graphs.

http://angularjs.org/#/list (the basics one)
Basically, I'm wondering what tools there are out there for me to create what they have there. The one I really like is he angularJS one, because I need a way to allow annotations within my code snippets.
So, basically. My question is this:
How did they create the annotations to work at certain places in the code (so you hover over the highlight), is that created from a library. If so, where is this library found? I found some online, but they all looked like terrible sticky notes, and I want something more stylish like this.
And finally, how do i get the line numbering to work?
Thank you.
Alex.
