Class: PolyLineAnnot

PDFNet. PolyLineAnnot

new PolyLineAnnot()

This header defines classes for the Polygon and PolyLine annotations. Polygon annotations (PDF 1.5) display closed polygons on the page. Such polygons may have any number of vertices connected by straight lines. Polyline annotations (PDF 1.5) are similar to polygons, except that the first and last vertex are not implicitly connected.

resize(newrect)

Scales the geometry of the annotation so that its appearance would now fit a new rectangle on the page, in user units.

 PDF manual specifies two ways to add border information to an annotation object, either through an array named 'Border' (PDF 1.0), or a dictionary called 'BS' (PDF 1.2) the latter taking precedence over the former. However, if you want to create a border with rounded corners, you can only do that using PDF 1.0 Border specification, in which case if you call SetBorderStyle() set the parameter oldStyleOnly to true. This parameter has a default value of false in the API and does not need to be used otherwise.
