Modify the shape of a subset of annotations

[risserlin]

Similar to style bypass. Be able to select a subset of annotations and change the shape of the annotation for just that set.

Idea being that we might want to highlight annotation that are specific to a certain condition or all from the same functional category.

Thanks for AutoAnnotate - pretty cool! Along similar vein to above... under "Changing Display Options" you can currently choose Ellipse or Rectangle.

It would be fantastic, in addition to these shapes, to be able to choose a "Contour Lines" shape. By this, I mean the same sort of overlapping, ad-hoc shapes that something like the RenoDoI or eXamine plugins seem able to visualise.

I think combining this with the the "apply unique shapes to various subsets" suggestion above would significantly enhance visual analysis options.

Thanks for reading and for your work on AutoAnnotate to date.
