Glossary Item Box

Prizm® Viewer uses XML to store annotation data, based on Accusoft' NotateXpress technology. The Prizm Annotation Server, which fully supports Prizm Viewer annotations, is able to handle the new XML-based annotation data format.

Earlier versions of Prizm Annotation Server do not support annotations introduced in Prizm Viewer v9.

Importing NotateXpress™ XML Annotations

When importing NotateXpress XML Note annotations into Prizm Viewer, Prizm Viewer will import the tool tip text of a NotateXpress note as the text of a Prizm Viewer note. The text of a NotateXpress note is discarded. For example, if you programmatically add a note annotation using NotateXpress, you will need to set the tool tip text as demonstrated below using the ElementSetToolTipText method:

VB Example Copy Code
 Dim e As Long
        e = NotateXpress1.ElementCreate
        NotateXpress1.ElementSetType e, NX_NoteTool
        NotateXpress1.ElementSetBoundingRect e, 80, 70, 0, 0
        NotateXpress1.ElementSetText e, "PV will not display this text"
        NotateXpress1.ElementSetToolTipText e, "PV will display this text"
        NotateXpress1.ElementAppend e

There are several annotation types supported in NotateXpress XML that are supported as "display only" in Prizm Viewer. They cannot be created in Prizm Viewer, nor updated:
