Document/Medical only. LEADTOOLS provides functionality for displaying a "name" for each annotation object. An object name is one way of differentiating between multiple objects in a container. LEADTOOLS does not use the object name in any special way and the value has no special meaning. The following properties help you control annotation object names:
Whenever the
Draw method of the owner container of an
AnnObject is called, it calls the
Draw method which in turn calls the
DrawObject method to draw the object itself (if the
Visible property is true), the
DrawName method to draw the name of the object (if the
NameVisible property is true) and then finally the
DrawLocked method to draw the locked object (if the object is currently locked). You can restrict the name. If a name is restricted, then it will fully appear on the image. By restricting the name, the offsets used to position the name are therefore limited, based on the name of the annotation object and the font that is being used. Set the value of the
NameRestrict property to true to restrict the name to appear fully within the bounding rectangle of the
Container and then call the
RestrictName method to move the name (by changing the
NameOffset property so the name will be restricted to appear fully within the
Bounds property of the
AnnContainer that contains this
AnnObject).
