HOW TO: Convert P8 Annotation Strings to LEADTOOLS' AnnObjects

IBMP8ReadOptions readOptions = new IBMP8ReadOptions()
{
    // Generally you'll want to pass screen resolution, and image resolution
    Mapper = new AnnContainerMapper(96, 96, 96, 96),
    RenderingEngine = new AnnWinFormsRenderingEngine(),
};
AnnObject annObject = AnnCodecs.ConvertFromIBMP8(p8AnnotationString, readOptions);

static AnnContainer[] P8DirectoryToLEAD(string p8Directory)
{
	List<AnnContainer> containers = new List<AnnContainer>();
	AnnRenderingEngine renderingEngine = new AnnWinFormsRenderingEngine();

	foreach (string p8File in Directory.EnumerateFiles(p8Directory, "*.xml", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
	{
		// Read the file contents
		string p8Annotation = File.ReadAllText(p8File);

		// Determine the page number
		int page = 1;
		string pagePropValue = AnnCodecs.ReadIBMP8PropDescAttr(p8Annotation, AnnCodecs.IBM_PAGENUMBER);
		if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(pagePropValue) && Int32.TryParse(pagePropValue, out page))
			page = Math.Max(1, page);

		// Get the AnnContainer for that page
		while (containers.Count < page)
			containers.Add(new AnnContainer());
		AnnContainer container = containers[page - 1];

		// Convert to an AnnObject
		IBMP8ReadOptions readOptions = new IBMP8ReadOptions()
		{
			Mapper = container.Mapper,
			RenderingEngine = renderingEngine
		};
		container.Children.Add(AnnCodecs.ConvertFromIBMP8(p8Annotation, readOptions));
	}

	return containers.ToArray();
