Annotations Support

Files for redistribution are installed by the LEADTOOLS setup. For information on the installation directory structure, refer to Installation Directory.

The specific set of redistributables needed depends on the functionality of the application being distributed. The following table lists the redistributables needed in order to support annotations.

Redistributables

Application-Specific Redistributable	Explanation
Leadtools.Annotations.Automation	Required for implementing high-level automated mode annotations (with end-user interaction).
Leadtools.Annotations.Engine	The base class for all LEADTOOLS Annotation objects. This class (along with the other classes from the Leadtools.Annotations namespace), provides low-level annotation functionality. May also require Leadtools.Annotations.Legacy
Leadtools.Annotations.Designers	Required for building annotation object Edit Mode and Run Mode designers.
Leadtools.Dicom.Annotations	Required for reading and writing annotation data within DICOM files. Also requires Leadtools.Dicom.
Leadtools.Pdf.Annotations	Required to implement extra document annotation features such as converting PDF annotations.
Leadtools.Annotations.BatesStamp	Required to implement extra document annotation features such as creating Bates numbering stamp annotations.
Leadtools.Annotations.Legacy	Required to convert annotation formats (.NET, WPF, C API) to the format used by Leadtools.Annotations.Engine. Required by the \Examples\DotNet\CS\AnnConversionDemo demo. The Leadtools.Annotations.Engine can load many types of annotations. However, certain formats require Leadtools.Annotations.Legacy.dll as well. See the following diagram.
Leadtools.Annotations.Rendering.WinForms	Leadtools.Annotations.Rendering annotation object renderers for Windows Forms.
Leadtools.Annotations.Rendering.Wpf	Leadtools.Annotations.Rendering annotation object renderers for WPF.
Leadtools.Annotations.UserMedicalPack.WinForms	Contains full implementation of custom medical objects, designers, and renderers for Windows Forms. Implementation is based on Basic Annotation features for Windows Forms. Example source code can be found at Examples\DotNet\CS\Leadtools.Annotations.UserMedicalPack
Leadtools.Annotations.UserMedicalPack.WPF	Contains full implementation of custom medical objects, designers, and renderers for WPF. Implementation is based on Basic Annotation features for WPF. Example source code can be found at Examples\DotNet3\CS\Leadtools.Annotations.UserMedicalPack.
Leadtools.Annotations.WinForms	Includes an automation manager helper, user interface dialogs, and customized automation viewer and interactive mode for Windows Forms. Example source code can be found at Examples\DotNet\CS\Leadtools.Annotations.Winforms
Leadtools.Annotations.Wpf	Includes an automation manager helper, user interface dialogs, and customized automation viewer and interactive mode for WPF. Example source code can be found at Examples\DotNet3\CS\Leadtools.Annotations.Wpf.
Leadtools.Kernel.Annotations	Required for loading and saving annotations compatible with non-.NET LEADTOOLS toolkits.
Leadtools.Windows.Annotations	(Deprecated) Use Leadtools.Annotations.Engine instead.
