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.

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 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.

Background color

Defaults to white. It can be changed using the AnnSetBackColor 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.

Fill pattern

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

Fill mode

Defaults to transparent. It can be changed using the AnnSetFillMode 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.
