ArtX Annotation Marks
User Guide > How to Work with... > Annotations > New Annotation API: ArtX > ArtX Annotation Marks

This section describes two sets of marks available in ImageGear ART:

The ART 3.0 set consists of enhanced, more flexible marks. It is These marks recommended that these marks be used for new applications. The ART 2.0 (Legacy) set consists of the marks that 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.

Both ART 2.0 and 3.0 marks can be saved into the XML storage format; please note, however, that ART 2.0 marks will be converted to the appropriate ART 3.0 super class marks. Only ART 3.0 marks are loaded from the XML storage format.

Some ART marks, such as Attach-a-Note and Text Stamp may require Wang compatibility mode enabled to be saved properly in legacy storage format. On the contrary the Highlighter mark should be saved in legacy format without Wang compatibility mode on.
