DynaPDFMBS.SetLineAnnotParms(Handle as UInt32, FontHandle as Integer, FontSize as Double, Params as DynaPDFLineAnnotParameterMBS) as boolean
Function:
The function sets or changes the properties of a line annotation relating to measure lines.
Notes:
The parameter Parms can be set to nil to delete all measure line specific values. The parameters FontHandle and FontSize will be ignored in this case.
The member Caption specifies whether the parameter Content of the function LineAnnot should be used as caption of the measure line. Although a measure line can display the string in a PopUp annotation like ordinary line annotations, this is not recommended and not fully supported in Adobe's Acrobat or Reader.
If Caption is true (recommended), the caption is drawn horizontally centered either on top or inside the measure line. The text position can be changed from its normal position with the members CaptionOffsetX and CaptionOffsetY.
The parameter FontHandle can be used to specify an arbitrary font that should be used to draw the caption. Although it is possible to use any font or font size greater 0 with DynaPDF, a PDF viewer will change the font and font size to it's default values when the annotation will be edited since line annotations support no property to specify the font or font size.
Function Reference
The default font to draw the caption is Helvetica and the default font size is 9 units. In order to use the default font set the parameter FontHandle to -1. The default font size is used if the parameter FontSize is set to to zero.
Returns true on success or false on failure.
