-PMA.core supports ​two main types of annotations ​**PMA.core annotations** and **3rd party annotations** and also some native annotations for the //3dHistech MRXS// and //Hamamatsu NDPI// formats+PMA.core supports ​three types of annotations PMA.core annotations, native annotations, ​and 3rd party annotations. ​
  
-PMA.core uses it'​s ​own internal format with the following structure:+^ Annotation type ^ Origin ^ Format ^ Read/Write ^ 
 +| Pathomation | PMA.studio; SDK | WKT | Read/write | 
 +| Native | Vendor-specific viewer; Pannotamic viewer; ImageScope | Embedded in the vendor file format | Read-only | 
 +| Third-party | Indica Labs HALO; Definiens; Visiopharm | .Annotation XML; .XML; .MLD (binary) | Read-only | 
 + 
 +PMA.core uses its own internal format with the following structure:
   * Geometry: based on WKT(Well-known text). Supports the following shapes //Polygon, Linestring, Point and Multipoint//​   * Geometry: based on WKT(Well-known text). Supports the following shapes //Polygon, Linestring, Point and Multipoint//​

This call also supports two more very useful formats for use outside of PMA.core i.e. the CSV and WKT(Well-Known text) formats. PMA.core will try to convert each format as flawlessly as possible but some shapes are not compatible to shapes in other formats. If the source and destination formats are the same PMA.core will not perform any conversion, it will output the original file. (//PMA.core annotations,​ Native annotations , Visiopharm , Indica Labs , Aperio//) to each of the 3rd party formats(Visiopharm ​ Indica Labs Aperio).

 +==== More background ====
 +
 +Did you know that PMA.core is actually a great tool to integrate different annotations originating for different sources? For more background, have a look at the [[pmann|Pathomation ANNotation subset of functionality]] in the API. 
  
 +We have [[https://​realdata.pathomation.com/​annotations-et-al/​|a blog article on annotations and how to handle them]], not just within PMA.core, but throughout [[https://​www.pathomation.com/​platform|the entire Pathomation software platform]].
