Annotations (Legacy)
This group of operators is useful to take notes without changing tool-shelf operators. These notes can be colored in the View tab of the Property Shelf. Each layer is a single color. You can also animate the notes with keyframes, editable in the dopesheet.
Note: These are legacy operators, meaning they are equally available in the Toolshelf as a modal operator.
