Mapper Property

Summary

Gets or sets the mapper for this AnnContainer.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public AnnContainerMapper Mapper { get; set; }

Public Property Mapper As AnnContainerMapper

@property (nonatomic) LTAnnContainerMapper* mapper;

public AnnContainerMapper getMapper() 
public void setMapper(AnnContainerMapper mapper)

public:  
   property AnnContainerMapper^ Mapper 
   { 
      AnnContainerMapper^ get() 
      void set(AnnContainerMapper^ value) 
   }

Property Value

The mapper for this AnnContainer. The default value is the object created by AnnContainerMapper.CreateDefault.

Remarks

The mapper is used by this container when converting display, container and image coordinates. For more information, refer to AnnContainerMapper.

If you set the value of this property to null, then this container will use an object created from AnnContainerMapper.CreateDefault instead. Therefore, you will always get a valid object when querying the value of this property.

Example

This example will use the mapper to convert a rectangle value from annotation to image units and back.

using LeadtoolsExamples.Common; 
using Leadtools.Annotations.Automation; 
using Leadtools.Annotations.Engine; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Annotations.WinForms; 
 
public void AnnContainer_Mapper() 
{ 
   double inch = 720.0; 
 
   // Create a new annotation container, 8.5 by 11 inches 
   AnnContainer container = new AnnContainer(); 
   // Size must be in annotation units (1/720 of an inch) 
   container.Size = LeadSizeD.Create(8.5 * inch, 11 * inch); 
 
   // Set its mapper, assuming the screen DPI is 96 and the image DPI is 300 
   container.Mapper = new AnnContainerMapper(96, 96, 300, 300); 
 
   // Add a blue on yellow rectangle from 3in 3in to 4in 4in 
   AnnRectangleObject rectObj = new AnnRectangleObject(); 
   rectObj.Rect = LeadRectD.Create(3 * inch, 3 * inch, 1 * inch, 1 * inch); 
   rectObj.Stroke = AnnStroke.Create(AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Blue"), LeadLengthD.Create(1)); 
   rectObj.Fill = AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Yellow"); 
   container.Children.Add(rectObj); 
 
   // Get the rectangle in annotations units 
   LeadRectD rc = rectObj.Rect; 
   Debug.WriteLine("Annotations units: " + rc.X + "," + rc.Y + "," + rc.Width + "," + rc.Height); 
 
   // Convert it to image coordinates 
   rc = container.Mapper.RectFromContainerCoordinates(rc, AnnFixedStateOperations.None); 
   Debug.WriteLine("Image units (pixels): " + rc.X + "," + rc.Y + "," + rc.Width + "," + rc.Height); 
 
   // If this container is used with an image, you can use the pixels values above to find the exact value on the image 
 
   // Convert it to back to annotations units 
   rc = container.Mapper.RectToContainerCoordinates(rc); 
   Debug.WriteLine("Original units: " + rc.X + "," + rc.Y + "," + rc.Width + "," + rc.Height); 
}
