Polyline Annotation Object

Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The polyline annotation object (ANNOBJECT_POLYLINE) is an array of points that create a sequence of joined lines. With the automated functions, each line segment is formed with a mouse click, and the object is completed on a double click.

The points can be changed using the AnnGetPointX method, AnnGetPointY method and AnnSetPoints method.

With low-level functions, you must provide the points that define the shape 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.

Foreground color

Defaults to black. It can be changed using the AnnSetForeColor method.

Line width

Defaults to 1. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineWidth method. (Values equate to a minimum of 1 pixel when displayed.)

Line style

Defaults to solid. It can be changed using the AnnSetLineStyle method.

Tag (identifier)

Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the AnnSetTag method.

Window handle

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

User mode

Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the AnnUserMode property.
