Class: Mark

IPCC.Mark(parameters)

The IPCC.Mark object represents an annotation. (We use the term "mark" as a generic term for annotations.) #####Marks Drawn on the Document Typically a Mark object represents a mark that is drawn on the document. In the case that a Mark object represents, a mark drawn on the document, then setting properties of the Mark object will cause the appearance of the mark on the document to be updated. To add a new mark to a document, use the method IPCC.ViewerControl#addMark. #####Mark Properties All marks have the following **read-only properties** that are set when the API creates the Mark object. - `.getId()` and `.id` - `.getType()` and `.type` - `.getPageNumber()` and `.pageNumber` A Mark object can also have a number of **writable properties**, which are define on the object depending on the mark type. For example, a Mark object with type `LineAnnotation` will have a property `.startPoint`, accessible through `.getStartPoint()` and `.setStartPoint(...)`, but a Mark object with the type `RectangleAnnotation` will not have the property `.startPoint`. Or, a Mark object with the type `StampAnnotation` will have a property `.color`, accessible through `.getColor()` and `.setColor(...)` and a `LineAnnotation` Mark object also has the property `.color`. The full list of Mark properties is listed below. The documentation lists what properties are on what mark types, and vice versa. To programatically determine if a mark has a property, use the JavaScript `in` operator. Or use the `!` operator if you are referencing the property's getter or setter method. Examples are shown below. !!myMarkObject.getStartPoint; // true if the startPoint property was added to the Mark object //Note: this option will only be available in ECMAScript 5 comaptible browsers 'startPoint' in myMarkObject; // true if the startPoint property was added to the Mark object #####Template Marks A Mark object can also act as a template for mouse tools that create marks. For example, a `LineAnnotation` mouse tool will have a "template mark" that is used as a template for any mark created by the mouse tool. Setting the color of the template mark to yellow will cause all marks created by the mouse tool to be yellow. The template mark is accessible via the method IPCC.MouseTool#getTemplateMark.

Constructor

new Mark(parameters)

_NOTE: this constructor is for internal use only._ To programmatically add a Mark (an annotation) to a document, use IPCC.ViewerControl#addMark.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
parameters Object The parameters object takes the following properties: - `type` {string} [required] Mark Type IPCC.Mark.Type - `pageNumber` {number} [optional] Page Number on which the Mark is located . If this property is not specified, the page number will default to the current page.
See:
Example
var viewerControl = new IPCC.ViewerControl(...);

// use IPCC.ViewerControl#addMark(pageNumer, markType) to create
// and add a mark instead of new Mark()
viewerControl.addMark(1, "LineAnnotation");

Members

(static, readonly) FontStyles :string

The `IPCC.Mark.FontStyles` enumeration defines Font Styles known to the ViewerControl. **Note:** This enumeration is for convenience for API developers. Instead of using this enumeration, you may pass string values of the `FontStyles` (enumeration values).
Type:
  • string
Properties:
Name Type Description
Bold string Specifies that the text should be bold.
Italic string Specifies that the text should be italic.
Strikeout string Specifies that the text should be struck out.
Underline string Specifies that the text should be underlined.
See:
Example
// use the enumeration to make text Bold
mark.setFontStyle([IPCC.Mark.FontStyles.Bold]);

// or just use the string value. Note: The parameter should be an array of styles required.
mark.setFontStyle(["Bold"]);

(static, readonly) HorizontalAlignment :string

The `IPCC.Mark.HorizontalAlignment` enumeration defines horizontal alignment known to the ViewerControl. **Note:** This enumeration is for convenience for API developers. Instead of using this enumeration, you may pass string values of the `HorizontalAlignment` (enumeration values).
Type:
  • string
Properties:
Name Type Description
Center string Specifies that the text should be centered horizontally.
Left string Specifies that the text should be left-justified.
Right string Specifies that the text should be right-justified.
Example
// use the enumeration to make text centered
mark.setHorizontalAlignment(IPCC.Mark.HorizontalAlignment.Center);

// or just use the string value

(static, readonly) InteractionMode :string

The `IPCC.Mark.InteractionMode` enumeration defines possible interaction modes for a Mark. The interaction mode affects the behavior of the mark when the user interacts with the mark through mouse, touch, or API. **Note:** This enumeration is for convenience for API developers. Instead of using this enumeration, you may pass string values of the `InteractionMode` (enumeration values).
Type:
  • string
Properties:
Name Type Description
Full string Specifies that the mark is fully interactive using the mouse, touch-input, and API.
SelectionDisabled string Specifies that the mark cannot be selected. **Note:** If a mark is selected when the mark’s interaction mode is set to "SelectionDisabled", then the mark will be deselected and the ViewerControl’s MarkSelectionChanged event will fire.
See:
Example
// use the enumeration to make the mark non-selectable
mark.setInteractionMode(IPCC.Mark.InteractionMode.SelectionDisabled);

// or just use the string value of the enumeration
mark.setInteractionMode("SelectionDisabled");
