If you want to add a specific object to the canvas I think you're better off making a new one rather than using MarkUp. Markups will probably change drastically at some point in the future when I have some time to redesign them.

If you want to add an object like Markups, Scribbles and Jumps then you shouldn't implement IGH_ActiveObject. Instead all you have to do is implement the IGH_DocumentObject interface, which is the bare minimum for stuff on the canvas. In fact, you should derive from GH_DocumentObject as it handles almost all functionality for you. Then create your own attributes and you're done.

I'll upload an example in a bit to show this.

The attached is a special object that has 4 resizable edges and overridden display+mouse handling. It may be a good starting point for your own type of object.

If you want to keep on using standard GH objects, I think Groups will be more useful than Markups.

I surmised so, but I wanted a quickfix!

Sure, I wouldn't have had the idea!

:) thanks!

Markups are fun!
