Pointer Annotation Object

Note:

This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The Pointer annotation object (ANN_OBJECT_POINTER) is defined by two points with an arrow at the first point. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the points in the current window.

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

With low-level functions, you must provide the points that define the points of the object. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetVisible method.
Selected	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the AnnSetSelected method.
Name	Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the AnnSetNameOptions method.
Line width	Defaults to 0.75 points. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineWidth method. (Note that when displayed, the line must have a minimum width of 1 pixel.)
Line style	Defaults to solid. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineStyle method.
ROP2 code	Defaults to ANN_ROP2_COPY. It can be changed using the AnnSetROP2 method.
Foreground color	Defaults to red. It can be changed using the AnnSetForeColor method.
Fixed State	Defaults to not fixed. It can be changed using the AnnFixed property.

Window handle	Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnSetWnd method.
