# `gradio_image_annotation`
<a href="https://pypi.org/project/gradio_image_annotation/" target="_blank"><img alt="PyPI - Version" src="https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/gradio_image_annotation"></a>  

A Gradio component that can be used to annotate images with bounding boxes.

## Installation

```bash
pip install gradio_image_annotation
```

## Usage

```python
import gradio as gr
from gradio_image_annotation import image_annotator


example_annotation = {
    "image": "https://gradio-builds.s3.amazonaws.com/demo-files/base.png",
    "boxes": [

            "ymax": 697,
            "label": "Vehicle",

### Events

| name | description |
|:-----|:------------|
| `clear` | This listener is triggered when the user clears the image_annotator using the X button for the component. |
| `change` | Triggered when the value of the image_annotator changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See `.input()` for a listener that is only triggered by user input. |
| `upload` | This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the image_annotator. |



### User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

- When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function.
- When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function.

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.

- **As output:** Is passed, a dict with the image and boxes or None.
- **As input:** Should return, a dict with an image and an optional list of boxes or None.

 ```python
 def predict(
     value: dict | None
 ) -> dict | None:
     return value
 ```
