The LEADTOOLS Annotation module for Medical Imaging offers a variety of annotation (image markup) options that can be added to document, grayscale and color images. Annotation objects available include Ruler, Protractor, Cross Product, Pointer, Text, Circles, Freehand, etc. LEADTOOLS allows you to read or write annotations as an external annotation file or as LEAD or Wang annotation tags within a TIFF file. With the LEADTOOLS Annotation module, you can choose between low level access to the annotations, or you can implement annotation support through a fully automated mode with a ready to use floating, customizable toolbar and pop-up menus. The superior annotation features provided in LEADTOOLS can be used in any application where image markup is desired.

With LEADTOOLS Annotation support you can:

• Create any of the following objects: line, arrow, rectangle, square, ellipse, circle, polygon, freehand line, text, highlighter, hot spot, note, stamp, redaction, button, audio clip, video, freehand hot spots, points, protractors, cross-products, push pins, and rubber stamps.
• Implement automated annotation support.
• Implement annotation passwords (case-sensitive) providing security for every object.
• Implement hyperlinks for every object. Hyperlinks can be user defined messages handled in code, external applications, or jumps to Web pages.
• Modify text strings used in automated annotation support to facilitate localization.
• Scale and position a group to fit the displayed bitmap.
• Group and ungroup objects.
• Apply an object or group to a bitmap.
• Size and position an object or group.
• Rotate an object or group.
• Flip, reverse, or shear an object or group.
• Save an object or group on the Windows clipboard.
• Print an object or group.
• Save an object or group in a file.
• Save annotations as an external LEAD file, WMF file, or as WANG or LEAD compatible tags inside a TIFF file.
• Save an object or group as a file in memory. (This is useful for low level database support.)
• Save an object or group in a database using OLEDB or VB data binding.
• Control over where optional annotation name or title is displayed.
• Multi-page annotation support.
