Highlight Annotation Object

(Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)

The Highlight annotation object (ANNOBJECT_HILITE) is a rectangle with default properties that are appropriate for highlighting an area. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window.

With low-level functions, you must specify the defining rectangle. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetVisible function.

Name

Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetNameOptions function.

Background color

Defaults to Yellow – RGB (255, 255, 0). It can be changed using the L_AnnSetBackColor function.

Fixed State

Defaults to not fixed. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetFixed function.

Defaults to None. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetHyperlink function.

Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetTag function.
