Text Annotation Object

Show in webframe

(Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)

The text annotation object (ANNOBJECT_TEXT) is a rectangle containing a character string with font properties. The text will wrap on word breaks within the object's specified rectangle. With the automated functions, the user clicks and drags to specify the rectangle in the current window. A dialog box then lets the user enter the text.

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

With low-level functions, you must specify the rectangle that contains the text. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:
