Visual Annotation (for Better Comprehension)

[bluebeard707]

Hi, this is a feature request for adding more robust visual annotation to ProjectMaker.

Often our bots can become very complex.

If you're coming back to fix a bug or add enhancements to a bot that you created a while ago, then often you must spend quite a bit of time understanding the logic flow again (before you can be productive).

So this request is to add more visual annotations similar to those in Mindmapping tools like Mindmeister.

Here is an example: https://www.mindmeister.com/842448234/vue-instance

You can have the following features:

- Colour arrows (to indicate flow)
- Colour bubbles (to group related Actions)
- Number icons (to indicate sequence)
- Popup notes with simple WYSIWYG editor (for detailed notes on Action or Action Group)

Here is a screenshot of the Mindmesiter visual panel: http://i.imgur.com/iq2AEdT.png

This would be like code comments, but more visual - making it much more powerful.

What do you think?

be able to color code and comment on the input flow lines?
and be able to change bubble comment colors and allow transparent overlays?

that sounds simple (i know its not but sounds simple)
