Windows.Foundation.Rect

CreatedAt

The date of the annotation creation.

Declaration
public DateTimeOffset CreatedAt { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.DateTimeOffset

CreatorName

The name of the creator of the annotation. This is a general purpose string which can easily be spoofed and might not reflect the actual creator of the annotation.

Declaration
public string CreatorName { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description

CustomData

Annotations can store additional user-specified data. PSPDFKit does not use or evaluate CustomData in the UI directly. You have full control over this property. For a new annotation, this defaults to a null object.

Declaration
public JsonObject CustomData { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject

Id

A unique identifier to describe the annotation.

Declaration
public string Id { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.String

IsDrawnNaturally

This value will currently not effect rendering on PSPDFKit for UWP.

Declaration
public bool IsDrawnNaturally { get; set; }

IsSignature

Indicates whether the ink annotation is a signature.

Declaration
public bool IsSignature { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

Lines

A list of line segments. Every segment consists again of a list of points with additional intensity information. The two nested lists are required since one ink annotation can consist of multiple lines. Within one segment, points will be connected using lines or curves. DrawingPoint for an additional intensity value (usually the pressure of a pointer device) that is used to reconstruct the naturally drawn image. If a device without intensity is used, the default intensity of 0.5 will be used. If no lines are present, the annotation will not be visible.

Declaration
public IList<IList<DrawingPoint>> Lines { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Collections.Generic.IList<DrawingPoint>>

Methods

FromJson(JsonObject)

Constructs the IAnnotation from the Instant JSON representing it. See https://pspdfkit.com/guides/server/current/document/json-format/ If any mandatory properties are missing then an exception will be thrown.

Declaration
public static IAnnotation FromJson(JsonObject json)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject json

The Instant JSON representing the IAnnotation.

Returns
Type Description
IAnnotation

The IAnnotation represented by the Instant JSON.

FromPartialJson(JsonObject)

Constructs the IAnnotation from the Instant JSON representing it. See https://pspdfkit.com/guides/server/current/document/json-format/ This method does not require mandatory properties to be present in the JSON. Instead appropriate default values will be used.

Declaration
public static IAnnotation FromPartialJson(JsonObject json)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject json

The Instant JSON or partial Instant JSON representing the IAnnotation

Returns
Type Description
IAnnotation

The IAnnotation represented by the Instant JSON.

SetBoundingBoxAndResizeLines(Rect, Boolean)

Set the bounding box of the ink annotation and scale the lines and line width to new width and height.

Declaration
public void SetBoundingBoxAndResizeLines(Rect newBoundingBox, bool maintainAspectRatio)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Windows.Foundation.Rect newBoundingBox

New bounding box to set.

System.Boolean maintainAspectRatio

If true, scales the new bounding box to fit in the same aspect ratio of the current bounding box. Otherwise the signature will be stretched to fit the new bounding box.
