How can I get information about all annotations saved in multipage TIFF file from my program?
Here is an example for VB.NET that shows how to do this:
Dim images As ImageCollection = New ImageCollection()
Dim annotations As AnnotationController = new AnnotationController(images)
images.Add("c:\multipage.tif");
For page = 0 To images.Count - 1
MsgBox("Page " + page.ToString());
Dim currentAnnotations As AnnotationCollection = annotations(i)
For anno = 0 To currentAnnotations.Count - 1
MessageBox.Show("Annotation " + anno.ToString() + _
", Type = " + currentAnnotations(anno).GetType().ToString())
Next anno
Next page
and here is an example for C#:
ImageCollection images = new ImageCollection();
AnnotationController annotations = new AnnotationController(images);
images.Add(@"c:\multipage.tif");
for (int page = 0; page < images.Count; page++)
{
MessageBox.Show("Page " + page.ToString());
AnnotationCollection currentAnnotations = annotations[i];
for (int anno = 0; anno < currentAnnotations.Count; anno++)
{
MessageBox.Show("Annotation " + anno.ToString() +
", Type = " + currentAnnotations[anno].GetType().ToString());
}
}
