Class: Mark

PCCViewer. Mark

The PCCViewer.Mark object represents an annotation or redaction. (We use the term "mark" as a generic term for annotations and redactions.)

Marks Drawn on the Document

Typically a Mark object represents a mark that is drawn on the document. In the case that a Mark object represents, a mark drawn on the document, then setting properties of the Mark object will cause the appearance of the mark on the document to be updated.

To add a new mark to a document, use the method PCCViewer.ViewerControl#addMark.

Mark Properties

All marks have the following read-only properties that are set when the API creates the Mark object.

  • .getID() and .id
  • .getType() and .type
  • .getPageNumber() and .pageNumber

A Mark object can also have a number of writable properties, which are define on the object depending on the mark type.

For example, a Mark object with type LineAnnotation will have a property .startPoint, accessible through .getStartPoint() and .setStartPoint(...), but a Mark object with the type RectangleAnnotation will not have the property .startPoint. Or, a Mark object with the type StampAnnotation will have a property .color, accessible through .getColor() and .setColor(...), and a LineAnnotation Mark object also has the property .color.

The full list of Mark properties is listed below. The documentation lists what properties are on what mark types, and vice versa.

To programatically determine if a mark has a property, use the JavaScript in operator. Or use the ! operator if you are referencing the property's getter or setter method. Examples are shown below.

!!myMarkObject.getStartPoint; // true if the startPoint property was added to the Mark object
//Note: this option will only be available in ECMAScript 5 comaptible browsers
'startPoint' in myMarkObject; // true if the startPoint property was added to the Mark object
Template Marks

A Mark object can also act as a template for mouse tools that create marks. For example, a LineAnnotation mouse tool will have a "template mark" that is used as a template for any mark created by the mouse tool. Setting the color of the template mark to yellow will cause all marks created by the mouse tool to be yellow.

The template mark is accessible via the method PCCViewer.MouseTool#getTemplateMark.

new Mark(parameters)

NOTE: this constructor is for internal use only.

To programmatically add a Mark (an annotation or redaction) to a document, use PCCViewer.ViewerControl#addMark.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
parameters Object

The parameters object takes the following properties:

  • type {string} [required] Mark Type PCCViewer.Mark.Type
  • pageNumber {number} [optional] Page Number on which the Mark is located . If this property is not specified, the page number will default to the current page.
See:
Example
var viewerControl = new PCCViewer.ViewerControl(...);

// use PCCViewer.ViewerControl#addMark(pageNumer, markType) to create 
// and add a mark instead of new Mark()
viewerControl.addMark(1, "LineAnnotation");

  • If limits on the number of KVPs are required, they should be enforced by calling code.
  • Setting the value as undefined results in no information for the key being persisted to the server.
  • The returned data is not mutated or sanitized, which could lead to a security vulnerability if not sanitized properly before use.
Parameters:

key string

The key for which to set the data value.
value string

This is the value to set for the key.

  • This must be a string or undefined.
