Rectangle Tool

(Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)

The rectangle annotation object is a simple rectangle. In design mode, click and drag to specify the rectangle in the current window. Holding down the Shift key while drawing the rectangle will make the rectangle 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.

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

• Set and manage hyperlink properties for an object or group of objects. Note: The actual management of a hyperlink must be done through low-level implementation. Only the Menu Item "Hyperlink" and an associated event are provided through the automation object. For more information, refer to Implementing Annotation Hyperlinks.

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

• Change the line width and style properties. See Line Dialog Box for Annotations.

• Change the fill mode and the fill pattern. See Fill Dialog Box for Annotations.

• Change the foreground and background colors. See Color Dialog Box for Annotations.

• Change the ROP2 code. See ROP2 Dialog Box for Annotations

• Change the fixed properties. See Fixed Dialog Box for Annotations.
