Crossproduct Annotation Object

(Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)

The CrossProduct annotation object (ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT) consists of two rulers intersecting at right angles. With the automated functions, the CrossProduct is started on a mouse-down event and completed on a mouse-up event.

With low-level functions, you must define the points by calling the L_AnnSetPoints function. The points are ordered as follows:
