CWAnnotation

Measurement Studio User Interface

CWAnnotation

The CWAnnotation object displays text, a shape, and/or an arrow on a CWGraph to mark a specific point or region on the graph or highlight something programmatically. CWAnnotation properties define the position and appearance of the annotation. The annotation position corresponds either to the coordinate space of the associated plot or to the screen coordinates of the CWGraph control.

To interact with the annotations while the program is running, set the TrackMode property to cwGTrackDragAnnotation.
