Using ImageGear ARTX Component

You can only attach one ART component. ARTX cannot be attached when ART is already attached, and vice-versa.

Using the ARTX component, you can annotate any image that your application loads into ImageGear. The annotations are called "ART marks", or "marks" for short. Every ART mark is represented by its own object, but the actual life of a mark starts when they are added into the IGArtXPage Object. ART page can be associated with one or more IGPage Object. The association is done by using IGPageDisplay Object.Page Property.

ART internally tracks the marks that are associated with the image and ensures that marks are always displayed on the correct part of the image (even as the image is scrolled, rotated, flipped and zoomed). Your application can save an image with the marks into a separate file in legacy .ART file format or .XML file format. Anytime the image is reloaded, the ART marks can be reloaded with a simple function call.

The ImageGear ARTX component consists of the marks objects as well as of the objects for handling marks.

To enable ARTX component in your project add the following code:
