I like circle annotator, but should the text be slightly higher in the circle? Or does it just look like that because there are no taller letters in the class?

@glenn-jocher, ideally, circle annotations are designed for highlighting tracking IDs. However, when it comes to class names, only the first three characters will be displayed, with the rest being truncated.

Ahhh interesting, got it! Yes that makes sense as the track line with come from the circle.
