Annotations Appearance
This document describes how to rotate an annotation, and how to change its appearance.
Apart from the capability to rotate an annotation around its anchor point, you can rotate the annotation’s shape, via the Annotation.Angle property, as the following images demonstrate.
Angle = 0 | Angle = 30 |
---|---|
In addition, the following options determine the appearance of an annotation.
- An annotation’s shape kind can be defined via the Annotation.ShapeKind property. When the ShapeKind.RoundedRectangle is specified, you can adjust its fillet amount via the Annotation.ShapeFillet property.
- The appearance of an annotation’s connector line can be adjusted via the Annotation.ConnectorStyle property. The available styles are listed in the AnnotationConnectorStyle enumeration.
- The padding within an annotation’s shape is defined by the Annotation.Padding property.
- To adjust the presentation of a TextAnnotation‘s content, use the TextAnnotation.Font, TextAnnotation.TextAlignment and TextAnnotation.TextColor properties.
- The background color and fill style can be adjusted via the Annotation.BackColor and Annotation.FillStyle properties, respectively.
- The border and shadow settings are provided by the Annotation.Border and Annotation.Shadow properties.
