Annotated Picture Editor
Ron Poet
This project needs no knowledge of biochemistry! I have a fairly large program, the Biochemist's Workbench, which lets Biochemists study protein molecules by displaying several different visualisations of molecules, which emphasize internal structure, chemical features and the like. This is a special case (inherits from) a general picture editor program.

This project will add a feature that allows the user to add comments to the picture as a whole and the individual objects, as he or she works with them. He or she can then replay the session and edit it to produce a record of the experiment as it was performed.

The software features:

• Computer graphics, using the Glasgow Graphics library, written in C++, running on UNIX machines. You do not need to have any computer graphics expertise for this project, since the computer graphics is straightforward.
• All of this work will be done at the general picture level and you will not need to know anything about proteins. The Biochemists Workbench will automatically inherit all of the annotation features developed in the project.

Training will be provided in the use of the library graphics classes.
