Save(Stream,AnnContainer,AnnCodecsFormat,int,AnnCodecsSavePageMode) Method

Summary

Saves the annotation objects to a stream.

Syntax

C#
VB
C++
  
Public Overloads Sub Save( _ 
   ByVal stream As Stream, _ 
   ByVal container As Leadtools.Annotations.AnnContainer, _ 
   ByVal format As Leadtools.Annotations.AnnCodecsFormat, _ 
   ByVal page As Integer, _ 
   ByVal pageMode As Leadtools.Annotations.AnnCodecsSavePageMode _ 
)  

Parameters

stream
The stream to which to save the objects.

container
An AnnContainer containing the objects to be saved.

format
An AnnCodecsFormat value that specifies the annotation format to use when saving.

page
1-based index of the page to be saved.

pageMode
A value that indicates how to handle the page when saving to a multi-page stream.

Remarks

pageMode can be one of the following:

Mode Description
AnnCodecsSavePageMode.Overwrite The stream will be overwritten and all previous information will be lost. The value of page must be 1 or -1 (if appending the objects as the last page).
AnnCodecsSavePageMode.Insert The stream must have valid annotation objects saved to it. The value of page must be between 1 and the total number of pages in the stream. A value of -1 will append the objects as the last page.
AnnCodecsSavePageMode.Replace The stream must have valid annotation objects saved to it. The value of page must be between 1 and total number of pages in the stream.

This method will not position the stream back to its original position before it returns. It is your responsibility to position the stream back before you can load objects from this stream.

To save multiple containers to a multi-page stream using one method, use Save(Stream, AnnContainer[], AnnCodecsFormat).

      codecs.Load(ms, container, 1);
