@gsautter is it possible assign to at least the most widely use annotations, eg P, treatment, materialCitations, etc. fixed colors?

The advantage to have a subset of annotation with fixed colors, we can use this in the handouts, and coordinate with anestore

That's already the case ... comes with the default GgImagine.cnfg (as well as, for now, the GoldenGATE.cnfg for the XML views), and only annotation types not present in those config files get assigned random colors on first use ... you can customize all those colors by clicking on the type in the display control area, and your customizations are stored in the aforementioned config files when you close GGI, so they prevail across restarts.

@plazi/poa-office:
Can you come up with a color scheme for the most important annotations in GGI? Please look at is from your users point of view that it makes it as easy to work.

This covers the most important elements that you also will use in the manualy and handouts you produce.
Consider readabilty, such as dark hues and black for the letters are very difficult to read.

Also keep in mind to use colors to or hues to keep related annotations together.
Would be good if we could come up with such as scheme at the end of the sprint

We'll make a suggestion

See above ... we already have:

  • red for taxonomicName and taxonomicNameLabel
  • green for treatment
  • blue for materialsCitation

With all the overall schematics, please also keep in mind that it's desirable to have the parsing dialogs for bibRefs and materialsCitations use the full rainbow, so details are easy to tell apart for users ... especially materials citations have internal color schematics for their details as well:

  • yellow to red for location based details, including geoCoodinate, collectingCountry, collectingRegion, ..., location
  • green for people (collectorName, determinerName), collectingDate, and circumstantial details like collectedFrom and collectingMethod
  • blue for collecting related data (specimenCode and collectionCode, specimenCount, and typeStatus)
  • gray for other details like geological information
  • dark gray for backReference ("same data as holotype", etc.)

Yes, and I don't think we should change that, to be honest
