RotateAnnotations Method (AnnotationManager)

In This Topic

Rotates clockwise by a specified angle all GdPicture/XMP annotations contained within the selected page of the document currently handled by this AnnotationManager object. The coordinate system of the currently selected page is used to determine the rotation direction.

Be aware that this method only handles GdPicture/XMP annotations. Likewise, annotations are always treated relative to the selected page.

'Declaration

 

Public Function RotateAnnotations( _

   ByVal Angle As Integer _

) As GdPictureStatus

public GdPictureStatus RotateAnnotations( 

   int Angle

)

public function RotateAnnotations( 

    Angle: Integer

): GdPictureStatus;

public function RotateAnnotations( 

   Angle : int

) : GdPictureStatus;

public: GdPictureStatus RotateAnnotations( 

   int Angle

)

public:

GdPictureStatus RotateAnnotations( 

   int Angle

)

Parameters

Angle: The rotation angle, in degrees, determining the clockwise rotation. This parameter can only be set to 90, 180, 270; otherwise the method will fail.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

This method requires the Annotations component to run.
