Overview
Images can be attached to any record with a unique id in mx through figures. A single image can be used as many times as you want for as many different records as you want. For instance a single image can illustrate multiple character states, be linked to text in a description, and illustrate a collecting event.
InputDraw
Figures can be further annotated by freehand drawing on them, for example outlining the characters of interest. After you add a figure (and possibly caption) and close the add popup the listed figures will have a 'draw' link on them. At present only images that are directly loaded into mx can be annotated in this way, though this is strictly a limitation of the way Morphbank exposes their data, and will be resolved very shortly.
