ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for displaying annotations on a digital image such that the viewing area is simplified and maximized. Abbreviated reason codes are employed, thereby increasing the number of annotations that may be displayed concurrently with an image and reducing the obtrusiveness of the annotations. The abbreviated reason codes may provide information to viewers about the significance of the image. Viewers may configure where the annotations are displayed and may associate priorities with the reason codes such that annotations of interest may be displayed more prominently or accessibly. Likewise, text descriptions associated with an annotation may be hidden until requested by a viewer. In instances where the number of annotations exceeds some configurable threshold, the excess annotations may be hidden unless requested.
