CreateTextObject Method

Summary

Creates a new text annotation object.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public void CreateTextObject( 
   DicomElement graphicAnnSQItem, 
   DicomTextObject textObject, 
   bool checkLayer 
)

public: 
void CreateTextObject(  
   DicomElement^ graphicAnnSQItem, 
   DicomTextObject^ textObject, 
   bool checkLayer 
)

Parameters

graphicAnnSQItem
An item element under the "Graphic Annotation Sequence" (0070,0001) in the "Graphic Annotation Module".

textObject
The text object attributes.

checkLayer
true to verify the existence of the layer to which the new object will be added (the method will fail if the layer does not exist); false to add the new object without verifying the existence of the layer.

Remarks

When checkLayer is set to true, the method checks if the layer specified in textObject exists or not. If it does not exist, the method will throw an exception.
