Comments

Some of these features change the way annotations look. Other features change the behavior of the user interface (automated mode). To maintain backward compatibility with the v14 series, new features were disabled by default. To enable these features, call LAnnotation::SetOptions with the desired flags. To get current options, call LAnnotation::GetOptions. For a description of changes prior to this release, refer to Key Annotation Features.
