The ImageGear ArtX Component provides access to API that contains objects used for creating, loading, saving, and processing ART annotations and their groups. Using this component, you can annotate any image that your application loads into ImageGear. The ImageGear ArtX Component allows you to work with 2 types of ART marks:
- ART 3.0 Marks - ART 3.0 marks are more flexible and are recommended for new applications.
- ART 2.0 (Legacy) Marks - ART 2.0 (Legacy) marks are backward-compatible with previous ART versions. Only ART 2.0 marks can be loaded from the .ART files created with previous ART versions, and only ART 2.0 marks can be saved into the legacy ART storage format.
The ImageGear ArtX Component API allows you to create, load, edit and save an image with the marks into a separate file in the legacy .ART file format or .XML file format.

You can only attach one ART component at a time. ArtX Component cannot be attached when ART is already attached, and vice-versa. |
