Polyline Annotation Object

Show in webframe

The Polyline annotation object (ANNOBJECT_POLYLINE) is an array of points that creates 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.

You can change the points using the L_AnnGetPoints and the L_AnnSetPoints functions.

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 L_AnnSetVisible function.
Selected	Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetSelected function.
Name	Defaults to an empty string. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetNameOptions function.
Line width	Defaults to 0.75 points. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetLineWidth function. (Note that when displayed, the line must have a minimum width of 1 pixel.)
Line style	Defaults to solid. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetLineStyle function.
ROP2 code	Defaults to ANNROP2_COPY. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetROP2 function.
Foreground color	Defaults to red. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetForeColor function.
Nodes	Defaults to displaying every node. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetNodes function.
Fixed State	Defaults to not fixed. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetFixed function.
Hyperlink	Defaults to None. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetHyperlink function.
Tag (identifier)	Defaults to 0. It can be changed using the L_AnnSetTag function.
Window handle	Defaults to NULL or the handle inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the L_AnnSetWnd function.
User mode	Defaults to design mode or the mode inherited from the container. It can be changed for all objects using the L_AnnSetUserMode function.
