ArtX Component API Reference

You can only attach one ART Component. The ArtX Component cannot be attached when the ART Component is already attached.

The ImageGear ArtX Component provides access to the ImageGear ArtX API and contains objects used for creating, loading, saving, and processing ART annotations and their groups.

ImageGear ArtX Component exposes the following API:
