Rectangle Annotation Object

Note:

This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The Rectangle annotation object (ANNOBJECT_RECT) is a simple rectangle. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window.

The class for Rectangle Annotation objects is LAnnRectangle.

For information on flipping, reversing or rotating annotation objects, refer to Flipping, Reversing and Rotating Annotation Objects.

With low-level functions, you must define the size and position of the rectangle. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the LAnnotation::SetVisible function.
Selected	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the LAnnotation::SetSelected function.
Name	Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the LAnnotation::SetNameOptions function.
Line width	Defaults to 0.75 points. It can be changed using the LAnnXXX::SetLineWidth function. (Note that when displayed, the line must have a minimum width of 1 pixel.)
