The ImageGear ART component includes low-level functions for fine-tune image annotating and high-level functions for the most typical operations. ART creates annotations on a layer that sits above the image or document that is to be annotated. The original image and the annotations can be stored separately or merged together permanently.

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

For detailed information about using the ART component, see Legacy Annotation API: ART and ART Component API Reference.

ImageGear ART Component is provided in for backward compatibility with previous versions of ImageGear (prior to v15). We recommend that you use the new ImageGear ArtX Component API for new development.
