Annotation Class Reference

## Detailed Description

The Annotation class is a specialized X3DObject used for inserting text annotation in a scene.

Since:
  10.5 (2012)

Example:
  How to add a simple text annotation to a model object.

          XSI::Model mymodel = Application().GetActiveSceneRoot().AddModel("MyModel");
          Annotation annotation = mymodel.AddAnnotation("This model is annotated");
          Application().LogMessage( mymodel.GetName() + " is annotated with " + annotation.GetName() + ": " + CString(annotation.GetParameterValue( "Message" )), siComment );

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Annotation | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

~Annotation | ( |  | ) |

Default destructor.

Annotation | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Constructor.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant reference object.

Annotation | ( | const Annotation & | in_obj | ) |

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

  in_obj | constant class object.

## Member Function Documentation

bool IsA | ( | siClassID | in_ClassID | ) | const `[virtual]`

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

  in_ClassID | class type.

Returns:
  true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from X3DObject.

siClassID GetClassID | ( |  | ) | const `[virtual]`

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
  The class type.

Reimplemented from X3DObject.

Annotation& operator= | ( | const Annotation & | in_obj | ) |

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_obj | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Annotation object.

Annotation& operator= | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Annotation object.

Reimplemented from X3DObject.

CString GetURLAt | ( | LONG | in_viewid,
|  | LONG | in_xcoord,
|  | LONG | in_ycoord
| ) |  | const

Returns the URL string from an annotation at a given view position. Returns an empty string if there is no URL found. This is typically used from a custom tool for invoking a URL embedded in an annotation.

Parameters:

  in_viewid | The view ID to query. This is typically available from ToolContext::GetViewIndex.
  in_xcoord | The view X coordinate for the query.
  in_ycoord | The view Y coordinate for the query.

Returns:
  The URL string.
