GdPicture.NET.14
GdPicture14 Namespace / AnnotationManager Class / AddPolyRulerAnnot Method
A color object that defines the required color of the newly added poly ruler annotation. It is the color of the ruler's drawn line and it corresponds to the AnnotationPolyRuler.StrokeColor property.
An array of points, in inches, which determines the poly ruler line segments.
The measurement unit of the newly added poly ruler. The poly ruler presents its current length in the defined unit at the end of the drawn line.
Example





In This Topic
AddPolyRulerAnnot Method (AnnotationManager)
In This Topic
Adds a new GdPicture/XMP poly ruler annotation on the selected page of the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object according to the parameters you have specified. A poly ruler annotation consists of several connected lines presenting its entire length in the specified measurement unit.

The type of the newly added annotation object is GdPictureAnnotationType.AnnotationTypePolyRuler. You can change the annotation properties directly using the GdPicture14.Annotations.AnnotationPolyRuler class right after the successful creation of the annotation object.

Be aware that annotations are always treated relative to the currently selected page.

Adds a new GdPicture/XMP poly ruler annotation on the selected page of the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object.

) 
public:

   Color BorderColor,
   array<PointF>^ Points,
   Annotation.UnitMode MeasurementUnit
)

Parameters

BorderColor
A color object that defines the required color of the newly added poly ruler annotation. It is the color of the ruler's drawn line and it corresponds to the AnnotationPolyRuler.StrokeColor property.
Points
An array of points, in inches, which determines the poly ruler line segments.
MeasurementUnit
The measurement unit of the newly added poly ruler. The poly ruler presents its current length in the defined unit at the end of the drawn line.

Return Value

A GdPicture/XMP AnnotationPolyRuler object. The newly added GdPicture/XMP poly ruler annotation.
Remarks
Please ensure that you have selected the proper page before starting any annotation related action with the handled document. Annotations are always treated relative to the currently selected page.

You can regularly apply the GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.
