Crossproduct Tool

(Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)

The CrossProduct annotation object (ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT) consists of two simple lines intersecting at right angles. With the automated functions, the CrossProduct is started on a mouse-down event and completed on a mouse-up event. Holding down the Shift key while drawing the CrossProduct will make the CrossProduct annotation square.

In design mode, click on the object with the right mouse button to do the following:

• Undo the last user action.

• Cut or copy the object to the clipboard.

• Delete the object.

• Select all objects.

• Bring the object to the front or send it to the back.

• Lock and unlock annotation objects. See Password Dialog Box for Annotations.
