VB.NET Rectangle Annotation Creating Application
How to note or annotate source digital document image file in a programming way? To help VB.NET developers solve this problem, we particularly design this VB.NET rectangle annotator control, a component from .NET imaging SDK. how to merge multiple pdf files into one pdf using c#, c# add text to existing pdf file, pdf to thumbnail converter c#, vb.net barcode scanner programming, add watermark to pdf c#, preview pdf in c#. Using this VB.NET rectangle annotation toolkit, developers can mark & annotate the content of target document image file in following three ways using VB.NET code.

  • Solution 1: Use this VB.NET rectangle annotating API to create a rectangle annotation with black non-transparent filled color. This VB.NET solution can help users hide or cover certain document or image information
  • Solution 2: Add a rectangle annotation with transparent background color to source document image file using this VB.NET rectangle annotator control. This solution can be used as a method to highlight the content of target file in .NET developing application
  • Solution 3: Use this .NET rectangle annotator library to create a rectangle annotation which has no background color and owns a customized border in VB.NET imaging application. This VB.NET solution is designed to help users create a rectangle text box to insert additional annotation information.

VB.NET Rectangle Annotator SDK Functions
  • An easy-to-use rectangle annotating toolkit for VB.NET imaging application
  • Generated rectangle annotation can be saved as a separate image object in VB.NET
  • Able to attach a user-defined shadow to created rectangle annotation using VB.NET
  • The edge property, filled shape property & shadow property are independently controlled
  • The size and position of created rectangle annotation can be easily modified using VB.NET code
  • Allow VB.NET developers to add rectangle annotation to Word file, if integrated with .NET, VB.NET Word processing SDK
VB.NET Image Rectangle Annotating DLLs
Those mature VB.NET rectangle annotating APIs are compacted into following two dlls which can be completely embedded into VB.NET developing application by adding reference directly.
  • RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.dll
  • RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.dll
As this RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.dll adopts the application of X & Y location, this VB.NET rectangle annotator component add-on enables developers to accurately define the position where rectangle annotation will be created. What should be mentioned here is that the library (RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.dll) can be also used to add other popular annotating types to image or document file, like freehand annotation and text annotation.
VB.NET Image Rectangle Annotating Method
From following VB.NET rectangle annotating method, you will know the starting point of rectangle annotation is determined by the values of X & Y. The size of rectangle annotation is defined by the values of width & height.
Public Shared Function 
CreateRectangleAnnotation(x As Single, y As Single, w As Single, h As Single) As RectangleAnnotation
End Function

Public Shared Function
CreateRectangleAnnotation(x As Single, y As Single, w As Single, h As Single, outline As AnnotationPen, fill As AnnotationBrush, _
shadow As AnnotationBrush, shadowX As Single, shadowY As Single) As RectangleAnnotation
End Function
VB.NET Code to Create Rectangle Annotation
In this part, a detailed VB.NET sample code is presented here, which will show you how to use this VB.NET rectangle annotation for creating a desired rectangle annotation.

Comparison on VB.NET Rectangle Annotation SDKs
The biggest feature that distinguishes RasterEdge VB.NET rectangle annotator from other similar rectangle annotating SDKs is its comprehensive annotating settings. From above VB.NET code demo, you can obviously find a fact that this VB.NET rectangle annotator control add-on allows developers to create a customized rectangle annotation by adjusting annotation properties with separate VB.NET code. Therefore, if you want to create a customized rectangle annotation on source document image file, this VB.NET rectangle annotator SDK will be your best choice.
