AnnFormat Enumeration

Summary
Represents supported annotation file formats.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public enum AnnFormat  
typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, LTAnnFormat){ 
 LTAnnFormatUnknown,  
 LTAnnFormatAnnotations,  
}; 
public enum AnnFormat 
public: 
   enum class AnnFormat sealed 
class AnnFormat(Enum): 
   Unknown = 0 
   Annotations = 1 
   PDFAnnotations = 2 
   TifTagAnnotations = 3 
   WangTagAnnotations = 4 
   LegacyAnnotations = 5 
Members
ValueMemberDescription
0Unknown The format is unknown, not annotations.
1Annotations Format is XML. This is a text-based format for storing LEAD annotations in the XML (Extensible Markup Language) format.
2PDFAnnotations Annotations within a PDF file.
3TifTagAnnotations Annotations tags within a TIFF file.
4WangTagAnnotations Annotations Wang tags within a TIFF file.
5LegacyAnnotations Legacy LEADTOOLS annotations.
Remarks

Use this enumeration with the AnnCodecs.Save or AnnCodecs.SaveToString method to specify the format to be used when saving the annotation objects.

For more information, refer to Annotation Files.
