ImageGear Professional for Windows ActiveX
The ART Marks Reference
| ImageGear Professional v18.2 > User Guide > Using ImageGear > Using ImageGear ART Component > The ART Marks Reference |
This section describes each mark available in ImageGear ART component, and its associated attributes. For each mark, the pertinent Attrxxx IGArtPage Object properties are listed. Note that certain Attrxxx properties apply to all marks (and are not shown for each individual mark):
 |
Some ART marks, such as Text Note, Text Stamp, Typed Text, may require Wang compatibility mode enabled to be saved properly. On the contrary the Highlighter mark should be saved without Wang compatibility mode on. The Kodak Imaging for Windows product included with Windows can process ART marks (either in separate .ART files or embedded in TIFF files), but only the Wang-compatible annotations. These constants define a range of user marks reserved for customer use. ImageGear will never use this range of the mark IDs for its purposes. |
The various marks that can be created with IGArtCtl Control are described in the following table. Please refer to the ART Component API Reference for complete descriptions of the IGArtCtl Control methods.
