Highlight points By default, objects are colored with the color of their label. You can remove the color from the points by clicking on the eye icon of a particular label.
Filter points
To entirely hide the points of a certain label, click on the filter icon. This can be very helpful to annotate to adjacent classes. Once you have labeled an object, you can hide it and proceed with labeling the neighboring objects.
