Comments

In version 14.5 of LEADTOOLS, many changes to annotations have been 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 Version 14.5 options, call the L_AnnGetOptions function.
