Loading ART Marks

Once ART marks have been saved, they can be reloaded (by the same user or a different user, using the same program or using any other ImageGear-enabled application). The way that the marks were saved will determine how they must be reloaded:

.ART file: Your application loads the image using any of the IGFormatsCtl Control.Loadxxx methods. It then constructs an IGArtPage Object for the image in the IGPage Object, and finally loads the marks from the .ART file. Your application will use either FileImport Method(), FileAppend Method, or LoadAnnotations Method to do this (LoadAnnotations Method is more flexible, but requires more code).
TIFF: Your application sets up IGPage Object, IGPageDisplay Object and IGArtPage Object, then loads the TIFF file using any of the IGFormatsCtl Control.Loadxxx methods. Because the ART marks were stored as tags in the TIFF file, and because your application had the IGArtPage Object all set up before calling Loadxxx, the ART marks will be reloaded into the IGArtPage Object automatically.
Burned In: Your application loads the image using any of the IGFormatsCtl Control.Loadxxx methods. The burned-in remains of the marks are loaded as part of the image.
