Constructor Details

SquareAnnotation

public SquareAnnotation(Page page,
 Rect initialRect)

Create a new SquareAnnotation at the end of a page's annotation array. To create a SquareAnnotation and place it elsewhere in the page's annotation array, use the version of the constructor that takes an array position.

Parameters:

page - The page to which the SquareAnnotation is added.

initialRect - A rectangle specifying the annotation's bounds, specified in user space coordinates.

SquareAnnotation

public SquareAnnotation(Page page,
 Rect initialRect,
 int addAfter)

Create a new SquareAnnotation at a specific index in the page's annotation array.

Parameters:

page - The page to which the annotation is added.

initialRect - A rectangle specifying the annotation's bounds, specified in user space coordinates.

addAfter - Where to add the annotation in the page's annotation array. To add the annotation to the end of the array, pass a value of -2 or use the alternate version of this constructor that does not take an index (this is generally what you should do unless you have a need to place the annotation at a special location in the array). Passing a value of -1 adds the annotation to the beginning of the array. Passing other negative values produces undefined results.
