Comments

In version 14.5 of LEADTOOLS, many changes to annotations are being introduced. Some of these features change the way annotations look. Other features change the behavior of the user interface (automated mode). To maintain backward compatibility, the new features are disabled by default. To enable these features, call L_AnnSetOptions with the desired flags. To get the current v14.5 options, call L_AnnGetOptions. For a description of the changes, refer to New Annotation Features of Version 14.5.
