class Annotations:
    """Annotation object for annotating segments of raw data.

    .. note::
       To convert events to `~mne.Annotations`, use
       `~mne.annotations_from_events`. To convert existing `~mne.Annotations`
       to events, use  `~mne.events_from_annotations`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    onset : array of float, shape (n_annotations,)
        The starting time of annotations in seconds after ``orig_time``.
    duration : array of float, shape (n_annotations,) | float
        Durations of the annotations in seconds. If a float, all the
        annotations are given the same duration.
    description : array of str, shape (n_annotations,) | str
        Array of strings containing description for each annotation. If a
        string, all the annotations are given the same description. To reject
        epochs, use description starting with keyword 'bad'. See example above.
    orig_time : float | str | datetime | tuple of int | None
        A POSIX Timestamp, datetime or a tuple containing the timestamp as the
        first element and microseconds as the second element. Determines the
        starting time of annotation acquisition. If None (default),
        starting time is determined from beginning of raw data acquisition.
        In general, ``raw.info['meas_date']`` (or None) can be used for syncing
        the annotations with raw data if their acquisition is started at the
        same time. If it is a string, it should conform to the ISO8601 format.
        More precisely to this '%%Y-%%m-%%d %%H:%%M:%%S.%%f' particular case of
        the ISO8601 format where the delimiter between date and time is ' '.
    %(ch_names_annot)s

        .. versionadded:: 0.23

    See Also
    --------
    mne.annotations_from_events
    mne.events_from_annotations

    Notes
    -----
    Annotations are added to instance of :class:`mne.io.Raw` as the attribute
    :attr:`raw.annotations <mne.io.Raw.annotations>`.

    To reject bad epochs using annotations, use
    annotation description starting with 'bad' keyword. The epochs with
    overlapping bad segments are then rejected automatically by default.

    To remove epochs with blinks you can do:

    >>> eog_events = mne.preprocessing.find_eog_events(raw)  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> n_blinks = len(eog_events)  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> onset = eog_events[:, 0] / raw.info['sfreq'] - 0.25  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> duration = np.repeat(0.5, n_blinks)  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> description = ['bad blink'] * n_blinks  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> annotations = mne.Annotations(onset, duration, description)  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> raw.set_annotations(annotations)  # doctest: +SKIP
    >>> epochs = mne.Epochs(raw, events, event_id, tmin, tmax)  # doctest: +SKIP

    **ch_names**

    Specifying channel names allows the creation of channel-specific
    annotations. Once the annotations are assigned to a raw instance with
    :meth:`mne.io.Raw.set_annotations`, if channels are renamed by the raw
    instance, the annotation channels also get renamed. If channels are dropped
    from the raw instance, any channel-specific annotation that has no channels
    left in the raw instance will also be removed.

    **orig_time**

    If ``orig_time`` is None, the annotations are synced to the start of the
    data (0 seconds). Otherwise the annotations are synced to sample 0 and
    ``raw.first_samp`` is taken into account the same way as with events.

    When setting annotations, the following alignments
    between ``raw.info['meas_date']`` and ``annotation.orig_time`` take place:

    .. warning::
       This means that when ``raw.info['meas_date'] is None``, doing
       ``raw.set_annotations(raw.annotations)`` will not alter ``raw`` if and
       only if ``raw.first_samp == 0``. When it's non-zero,
       ``raw.set_annotations`` will assume that the "new" annotations refer to
       the original data (with ``first_samp==0``), and will be re-referenced to
       the new time offset!

    **Specific annotation**

    ``BAD_ACQ_SKIP`` annotation leads to specific reading/writing file
    behaviours. See :meth:`mne.io.read_raw_fif` and
    :meth:`Raw.save() <mne.io.Raw.save>` notes for details.

    r"""Read annotations from a file.

    This function reads a ``.fif``, ``.fif.gz``, ``.vmrk``, ``.amrk``,
    ``.edf``, ``.txt``, ``.csv``, ``.cnt``, ``.cef``, or ``.set`` file and
    makes an :class:`mne.Annotations` object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    fname : path-like
        The filename.
    sfreq : float | ``'auto'``
        The sampling frequency in the file. This parameter is necessary for
        \*.vmrk, \*.amrk, and \*.cef files as Annotations are expressed in
        seconds and \*.vmrk/\*.amrk/\*.cef files are in samples. For any other
        file format, ``sfreq`` is omitted. If set to 'auto' then the ``sfreq``
        is taken from the respective info file of the same name with according
        file extension (\*.vhdr/\*.ahdr for brainvision; \*.dap for Curry 7;
        \*.cdt.dpa for Curry 8). So data.vmrk/amrk looks for sfreq in
        data.vhdr/ahdr, data.cef looks in data.dap and data.cdt.cef looks in
        data.cdt.dpa.
    uint16_codec : str | None
        This parameter is only used in EEGLAB (\*.set) and omitted otherwise.
        If your \*.set file contains non-ascii characters, sometimes reading
        it may fail and give rise to error message stating that "buffer is
        too small". ``uint16_codec`` allows to specify what codec (for example:
        ``'latin1'`` or ``'utf-8'``) should be used when reading character
        arrays and can therefore help you solve this problem.
    %(encoding_edf)s
        Only used when reading EDF annotations.

    Returns
    -------
    annot : instance of Annotations | None
        The annotations.

    Notes
    -----
    The annotations stored in a ``.csv`` require the onset columns to be
    timestamps. If you have onsets as floats (in seconds), you should use the
    ``.txt`` extension.

    Parameters
    ----------
    raw : instance of Raw
        The raw data for which Annotations are defined.
    event_id : dict | callable | None | ``'auto'``
        Can be:

        - **dict**: map descriptions (keys) to integer event codes (values).
          Only the descriptions present will be mapped, others will be ignored.
        - **callable**: must take a string input and return an integer event
          code, or return ``None`` to ignore the event.
        - **None**: Map descriptions to unique integer values based on their
          ``sorted`` order.
        - **'auto' (default)**: prefer a raw-format-specific parser:

          - Brainvision: map stimulus events to their integer part; response
            events to integer part + 1000; optic events to integer part + 2000;
            'SyncStatus/Sync On' to 99998; 'New Segment/' to 99999;
            all others like ``None`` with an offset of 10000.
          - Other raw formats: Behaves like None.

          .. versionadded:: 0.18
    regexp : str | None
        Regular expression used to filter the annotations whose
        descriptions is a match. The default ignores descriptions beginning
        ``'bad'`` or ``'edge'`` (case-insensitive).

        .. versionchanged:: 0.18
           Default ignores bad and edge descriptions.
    use_rounding : bool
        If True, use rounding (instead of truncation) when converting
        times to indices. This can help avoid non-unique indices.
    chunk_duration : float | None
        Chunk duration in seconds. If ``chunk_duration`` is set to None
        (default), generated events correspond to the annotation onsets.
        If not, :func:`mne.events_from_annotations` returns as many events as
        they fit within the annotation duration spaced according to
        ``chunk_duration``. As a consequence annotations with duration shorter
        than ``chunk_duration`` will not contribute events.

    Returns
    -------
    %(events)s
    event_id : dict
        The event_id variable that can be passed to :class:`~mne.Epochs`.

    --------
    mne.annotations_from_events

    Notes
    -----
    For data formats that store integer events as strings (e.g., NeuroScan
    ``.cnt`` files), passing the Python built-in function :class:`int` as the
    ``event_id`` parameter will do what most users probably want in those
    circumstances: return an ``event_id`` dictionary that maps event ``'1'`` to
    integer event code ``1``, ``'2'`` to ``2``, etc.
