Property Value

The AnnContainer that contains this AnnObject.

An AnnObject can be part of one AnnContainer only at any given time.

When adding or removing objects to or from a container, you do not need to manually set this property to the container value: this operation is performed internally by the LEADTOOLS annotation toolkit. However, you can check the value of this property to determine the container to which a certain object currently belongs.
