AnnContainer Object

JavaScript

function Leadtools.Annotations.Core.AnnContainer()

The annotation container is a rectangular area that holds related annotation objects (AnnObject). In typical applications, the container holds the annotation objects for a page in a document. The size of the container is the same of the page but in annotation units (1/720 of an inch).

AnnContainer contains the following members:

Member	Description
Size, Offset and PageNumber	Properties of the container: Size is the size of the container in annotation units (1/720 of an inch). Offset is an optional offset value (if the container does not start at 0,0) and PageNumber is the optional 1-based page number of the container
Mapper	The object responsible for converting display, container and image coordinates
Children	A collection of AnnObjects. These are the annotation objects that belong in this container. These objects will be rendered when the container is rendered and edited when the container is automated
SelectionObject	Special annotation object that is responsible for maintaining a list of the objects that are currently selected in the container
Layers	A collection of AnnLayers for logically grouping common annotation objects.
HitTestPoint and HitTestRect	Helper method for performing hit-testing on the container and returning any object under a test point or rectangle.
IsVisible, Stroke and Fill	Optional values (whether it is visible, border stroke, interior filling options) used when rendering this container.
IsEnabled	Optional value indicating whether this container is enabled. If a container is disabled, then it will be used by the automation and considered read-only.
Labels	Optional labels (for example, map legends) that can be used to overlay fixed text on top of the container.
Resize	Method for easily resizing a container to a desired size. Has options.

This example creates a new container, adds a line object and a rectangle object to it, saves it and then loads it back.
