   double inch = 720.0; 
 
   // Add a text object 
   AnnTextObject textObj = new AnnTextObject(); 
 
   // Set the points for the hotspot 
   textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 1 * inch)); 
   textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(2 * inch, 1 * inch)); 
   textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(2 * inch, 2 * inch)); 
   textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 2 * inch));
