Point Annotation Object

Note:

This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The hot spot annotation object (ANN_OBJECT_POINT) is single point. With the automated functions, in design mode, each point is formed with a mouse click event.

For information on flipping, reversing or rotating annotation objects, refer to Flipping, Reversing and Rotating Annotation Objects.

With low-level functions, you must define the point by calling the AnnSetPoints method. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetVisible method.

Selected

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetSelected method.

Name

Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the AnnSetNameOptions method.

Line width

Defaults to 0.75 points. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineWidth method. (Note that when displayed, the line must have a minimum width of 1 pixel.)

Line style

Defaults to solid. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineStyle method.

ROP2 code

Defaults to ANN_ROP2_COPY. It can be changed using the AnnSetROP2 method.

Transparent option

Defaults To Use Transparent Color. It can be changed using the AnnSetTransparent method.

Transparent Color

Defaults to White. It can be changed using the AnnSetTransparentColor method.

Bitmap

Defaults to NULL. It can be changed using the AnnSetBitmap method.

Point

Defaults to a bitmap of a cross inside a circle. It can be changed using the AnnPredefinedRaster property function.

Fixed State

Defaults to not fixed. It can be changed using the AnnFixed property.

Hyperlink

Defaults to None. It can be changed using the AnnSetHyperlinkString method.

Tag (identifier)

Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the AnnSetTag method.

Window handle

Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnSetWnd method.

User mode

Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnUserMode property.
