How to edit / delete shapes created using a callback?

Hi @iacisme the shape has a name attribute which you can use to identify shapes in your image. It is actually not intended for this, see also here. I used it in the past for finding shapes in an image by iterating thru the list of annotations.

Here an example:

    base_shape = {
        'editable': True,
        'xref': 'x',
        'yref': 'y',
        'layer': 'above',
        'opacity': 1,
        'line':
            {
                'color': '#E2F714',  # default color
                'width': 2,
                'dash': 'solid'
            },
        'fillcolor': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)',
        'fillrule': 'evenodd',
        'type': 'rect',
        'x0': 0,    # default values
        'y0': 0,
        'x1': 0,
        'y1': 0,
        'name': 'default_name'
    }

Deleting the shapes is as easy as deleting an item from a list after finding the correct index (searching for the name).
