Public Function FromAnnObject( _
   ByVal annObject As AnnObject _
) As DicomAnnotationObject

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As DicomAnnotationsUtilities Dim annObject As AnnObject Dim value As DicomAnnotationObject   value = instance.FromAnnObject(annObject)

public DicomAnnotationObject FromAnnObject( 
   AnnObject annObject
)

public:
DicomAnnotationObject FromAnnObject( 
   AnnObject annObject
) 

Parameters

annObject

The LEAD annotation object that is being converted

Return Value

This sample does the following:

1. Creates a LEAD AnnRectangleObject annotation
2. Creates a converter
3. Converts to a DicomAnnotationObject annotation
4. Converts back to a LEAD AnnObject
5. Shows that the original AnnRectangleObject has been changed to a AnnPolygonObject
