   double inch = 720.0; 
   // Add a note object 
   AnnNoteObject noteObj = new AnnNoteObject(); 
   // Set the points for the note 
   noteObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 1 * inch)); 
   noteObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(3 * inch, 1 * inch)); 
   noteObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(3 * inch, 3 * inch)); 
   noteObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 3 * inch)); 
   // Set the text
