VisBio Overlays with Flat Bounding Box

This page evaluates the "VisBio Overlays" use case expressed on the Roi5D Proposals OME-XML-Model-2005-ROI5D page with respect to the Flat Bounding Box OME-XML-Model-2005-Flat-Bounding-Box data model.

Note: This page is not complete. Before continuing in this direction we are evaluating the Unified ROI Model OME-XML-Model-2005-Unified-ROI.

Representation

Markers (points) — XY coordinate

Lines — pair of XY coordinates, potentially directed (for rendering arrows)

Ellipses ("ovals")

Rectangles ("boxes")

Text — could be either its own type, or simply a marker or box with associated text to render at that location

Freeform selections (represented with bitmasks, and maybe also N-edged polygons)

Assignment of color to each glyph; both "filled" and "hollow" glyphs (rendering distinctions)

Groupings of these glyphs into larger structures (assignment of each glyph to a particular group)

Specific queries encapsulating the questions

Which glyphs belong to a given image plane

Which glyphs belong to a given set of planes (typically across Z, but potentially across any given dimension — simply a repetition of the first question across multiple planes, but such an iteration will be very common)?

To which larger structure does this glyph belong, if any?

Which glyphs belong to a particular group/structure?

Which glyphs are a particular color?

Which glyphs overlap a particular XY area?

Which glyphs contain the given substring in their text field (or which text glyphs contain the substring)?

Combinations of the above queries.

Potentially more complex queries, but I cannot give concrete examples until the functionality is more mature.
