Bounding box annotation tool that supports insertion and editing

## Installation

```bash
pip install gradio_bbox_annotator
```

## Usage

```python

import gradio as gr
from gradio_bbox_annotator import BBoxAnnotator


example = BBoxAnnotator().example_value()

demo = gr.Interface(
    lambda x: x,
    BBoxAnnotator(value=example, show_label=False),  # input is interactive
    BBoxAnnotator(show_label=False),  # output is static
    examples=[[example]],  # examples are in the gallery format
)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()

### Events

| name | description |
|:-----|:------------|
| `clear` | This listener is triggered when the user clears the BBoxAnnotator using the clear button for the component. |
| `change` | Triggered when the value of the BBoxAnnotator changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See `.input()` for a listener that is only triggered by user input. |
| `upload` | This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the BBoxAnnotator. |



### User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

- When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function.
- When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function.

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.

- **As output:** Is passed, a tuple of `str` containing the path to the image and a list of annotations.
- **As input:** Should return, expects a `str` or `pathlib.Path` object containing the path to the image, or a tuple of.

 ```python
 def predict(
     value: tuple[str, list[tuple[int, int, int, int, str | None]]]
    | None
 ) -> str
    | pathlib.Path
    | tuple[
        str | pathlib.Path,
        list[tuple[int, int, int, int, str | None]],
    ]
    | None:
     return value
 ```
