Plugins

Annotorious provides a simple plugin mechanism for extensions. You can add a plugin to Annotorious using the JavaScript syntax below. The opt_config_options parameter is an optional object literal providing configuration options for the plugin.

anno.addPlugin('myPlugin', opt_config_options);

Please note that at the moment, plugins are only supported in the standalone version of Annotorious, not in the OKFN Annotator version!
