Adding decorations


Some decorations are added automatically.  For example, the Stitch command and the Stitch 360 command (New image menu) add outlines to indicate the overlap regions.  These outlines can be edited to adjust the boundaries of the blend region, but they cannot be removed.

Other decorations are added by user actions.  For example, hotspots are added to the image by clicking on the image.
