Using Text in Annotation Objects

Show in webframe

Many annotation objects use text as part of the annotation.

The AnnTextObject class provides properties common to all text which are utilized by any class of annotation object that utilizes text. The following classes use text:

AnnTextObject

AnnNoteObject

AnnStampObject

AnnTextPointerObject

AnnTextRollupObject

Each of these classes (either through the direct implementation or inheritance) accesses properties that control vertical and horizontal alignment, margin width and the actual text. The Text property sets the text string for the annotation object. The TextRotate property controls the rotation value for the text. The TextBackground and TextForeground properties control the brushes used to draw the text. The HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties control the horizontal and vertical alignment of the text. The Padding property controls the distance between the text and its bounding rectangle.
