Freehand Line Annotation Object

Show in webframe

The freehand annotation object (ANNOBJECT_FREEHAND) is an array of points that create a sequence of joined lines. With the automated functions, each line segment is formed with a mouse move event when the left button is down, and the object is completed on a mouse up event.

The class for Freehand Line Annotation objects is LAnnFreehand.
