To use the Visual Annotate feature to add images to the Timeline and Log views, follow these steps:

Procedure

1. Ensure gatord is running. gatord creates the /dev/gator/annotate file.
2. Include the streamline_annotate.h header file by adding the following include statement to your code: #include "streamline_annotate.h"
3. Add the ANNOTATE_SETUP macro to your code. It must be called before any other annotate macros are called.
4. Add one ANNOTATE_DEFINE macro to your code. You must call the following before using the ANNOTATE_VISUAL macro.
5. Insert the ANNOTATE_VISUAL macro into your code: ANNOTATE_VISUAL(data, length, str); Replace data with your image, length with the size of the data being written to the annotate file, and str with a descriptive string to be included with the image. Including a string is optional.
6. Optional: Write an empty string to clear the annotation message for the thread.
