Protractor Annotation Object

Show in webframe

The protractor annotation object (ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR) consists of two simple lines joined at a vertex to create an angle. With the automated functions, the first line of the protractor is started on a mouse-down event and completed on a second mouse-down event. The second line is completed on a third mouse-down event.

The class for Protractor Annotation objects is LAnnProtractor.

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

With low-level functions, you must define the size and position of the rectangle. Other applicable properties have the following defaults, which you can change:

Visible

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the LAnnotation::SetVisible function.

Selected

Defaults to FALSE. It can be changed using the LAnnotation::SetSelected function.

Defaults to 0.75 points. It can be changed using the LAnnRuler::SetLineWidth 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 LAnnRuler::SetLineStyle function.
