Hi John, Our insructors would like to anotate applications and weather imagery in real time with a Wacom tablet. The annotations would appear on a projection screen behind the instructor for the students to see.
The Gromit application listed in today's GIMP-user mail looks like it can perform this function. http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/gromit/ If you have another application in mind please let me know. Thanks for your help!

Is this for screen display, slides or paper copies? Most publishing programs will allow one pdf or whatever as the background for a page and another overlaying it with text. Context (part of TeX) does this for example. And I am also sure I can do it in Scribus. You can of course do it in Gimp but each combined page would be a separate entity. And text would be converted to bitmaps. As the Vermont farmer said, "If I was goin' to Montpelier I sure wouldn't start from here." I would look at other tools for this particular job. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
