FALSE	Do not show the nodes.

Comments

This function is valid for the following annotation objects:

Curve
Closed Curve
Freehand
Freehand Hotspot
Polygon
Polyline

In addition, the Automation object stores node settings along with the other object default settings.

Note: The last node is always shown. Therefore, using a large value for puGapNodes will probably result in only the first and last nodes being shown.
