How can I get information about all annotations saved in multipage TIFF file from my program?Here is a simple code:
[VB.NET]
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
[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());
}
}
How can I create square annotation? I cannot see such class in the hierarchy.You should create the Rectangle annotation object and set its Symmetry property to True.
How can I know the number of annotations on the image?AnnotationViewer class has the Annotations property - it's an object of the AnnotationController class. AnnotationController object contains information about collection of annotations associated with the image.
How can I know if an annotation is selected?AnnotationViewer class has the SelectedAnnotationChanged event, this event occurs when the selected annotation is changed.
Can I annotate and save each individual page of multipage TIFF file?Here is a simple code:
[C#]
...
annotationViewer1.Images.ImageSaved += new ImageSavedEventHandler(images_ImageSaved);
for (int iPageCount = 0; iPageCount < annotationViewer1.Images.Count; iPageCount++)
{
annotationViewer1.Annotations.MergeImageWithAnnotations(iPageCount);
}
annotationViewer1.Images.Save(@"C:\new.tif");
...
void images_ImageSaved(object sender, ImageSavedEventArgs e)
{
this.Text = e.Progress.ToString();
}
...
I want to place annotation at the exact position where the person will click on the image, but the annotation is always drawn with some displacement. How can I resolve this?The starting point of annotation is in center of its bounding rectangle, not in the upper left corner. So you need recalculate params of annotation's location with subject to this fact, and this should resolve the issue.
Can I rotate Image with annotations?Here is a simple code: [C#] ... annotationViewer1.Annotations.RotateImageWithAnnotations(0, 10); ...
