GdPicture14 Namespace / GdViewer Class / AddLineArrowAnnotInteractive Method / AddLineArrowAnnotInteractive(Color,Single,Single,Single,Boolean,Single,Boolean) Method
A color object that defines the required color of the newly added line arrow annotation. It corresponds to the AnnotationLineArrow.StrokeColor property.
The width of the newly added line arrow annotation, in inches. It is the width of the line and it corresponds to the AnnotationLineArrow.BorderWidth property.
The width of the arrow, in inches. This value only defines the width of the very arrow on the end of the line.
The height of the arrow, in inches. This value only defines the height of the very arrow on the end of the line.
Set this parameter to true to depict a sharp arrowhead. Set it to false to paint a rounded arrowhead.
The opacity value of the newly added line arrow annotation, from 0 (full transparency) to 1 (full opacity).
Specifies if the starting and ending points of the line arrow are inverted during drawing. Set this parameter to true if you want to paint an arrowhead straightway on the starting point of the line. Otherwise, set it to false.

AddLineArrowAnnotInteractive(Color,Single,Single,Single,Boolean,Single,Boolean) Method
In This Topic
Allows users to interactively add a new line arrow annotation using the mouse on the current page of the document displayed in the GdViewer control. The annotation object is added following all the parameters you have specified and respecting the dimensions users will define using the mouse as well.

This annotation depicts a straight line with an arrow on one of its ending points. Using this method you can specify if the arrowhead is painted when users start the line or when they finish it.

The type of the newly added annotation object is GdPictureAnnotationType.AnnotationTypeLineArrow. You can change the annotation properties directly using the GdPicture14.Annotations.AnnotationLineArrow class before or after the successful creation of the annotation object. Please refer to both the BeforeAnnotationAddedByUser and the AnnotationAddedByUser events for how to achieve this.

Be aware that the editing mode for annotations must be enabled using the SetAnnotationEditorMode method, otherwise this method will fail.
