C# Freehand Line Annotation on Image Overview
With the simple C#.NET image annotation library, both the developers and end-users can easily and quickly add and draw freehand line annotation to single or multi-page images with very simple C# code. Besides, using our image annotating developing APIs, C#.NET developers can create a fully-automated, dynamic, and feature-packed annotation application that also can be operated by end users. C# freehand line annotation tool here allows users to create and customize image annotation objects on multiple image formats: JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF.

C# code to Create Freehand Line Annotation on Image
We will demonstrate the tutorial of creating freehand line annotation to image page from following three modules:
  • Create and run a C# programming application for adding freehand line annotation object
  • Method to draw freehand line annotation to image in C# class
  • Compliant pieces of C# codes for creating and customizing freehand line annotation

Create and Run a C# Development Application

This part will guide users to create an image freehand line annotation project in Visual C# language.
  1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008 or 2010 version;
  2. Create the required C# Windows application;
  3. Add .NET Imaging Annotating DLLs to your Visual C# applications by right click "Add Reference...";
    • RasterEdge .Imaging.Basic.dll
    • RasterEdge .Imaging.Annotation.dll
  4. Run image processing and annotating applications below in C# project:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation;
using System.Diagnostics;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.Basic

Freehand Line Annotation Method in C#

Using following two sets of freehand line annotation methods to add and customize image annotation by setting line point data.
public static FreeHandLineAnnotation CreateFreeHandLineAnnotation(LinePoint[] points);
public static FreeHandLineAnnotation CreateFreeHandLineAnnotation(LinePoint[] points, LinePen aPen);

C# Code to Create Freehand Line Annotation

Following displayed code shows how to create freehand annotation on image with above methods. This complete C# sample function code enables users to customize annotation line width & property, point location and line closed loop parameter.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation;
using System.Diagnostics;
using RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.Basic;

namespace RasterEdge.Imaging.Demo.Annotation
{
public class FreehandLineAnnotationDemo
{
/*
*
*
* SDK Dependency:
* RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.dll
*
*
*/

public static void Test()
{
try
{
FreeHandLineAnnotation obj = new FreeHandLineAnnotation();//create a new freehand line
//set Track points
obj.Points = new List<LinePoint>();
obj.Points.Add(new LinePoint(30.0F, 34.0F));
obj.Points.Add(new LinePoint(20.3F, 123.0F));
obj.Points.Add(new LinePoint(134.0F, 32.0F));
obj.Points.Add(new LinePoint(134.0F, 110.0F));

//set line size
obj.LinePen = new LinePen();
obj.LinePen.Width = 3.0F;//set line width

//set line property
obj.LinePen.Brush = new AnnotationBrush();
obj.LinePen.Brush.FillType = RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.FillType.Solid;//set line style
obj.LinePen.Brush.Solid_Color = Color.Blue;//set line color

//when the track has Closed loop, set the Closed loop property as below
obj.Fill = new AnnotationBrush();
obj.Fill.FillType = RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.FillType.Solid;//set Closed loop style
obj.Fill.Solid_Color = Color.Pink;//ser closed loop color

string folderName = "C:/";
Bitmap img = obj.CreateAnnotation();
img.Save(folderName + "FreehandLineAnnotation.png");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
