FindAnnotations()

Summary

Finds the annotations closest to a coordinate

 

Changes

Added in version 2020.

 

Syntax

ids = FindAnnotations(string window_spec, coord c)

 

Argument	Contents
window_spec	The type and name of the window containing the annotation
c	A coordinate

 

 

Returns

An array of annotation ids.

 

Notes

• FindAnnotations() returns null if no annotation is found.

• The annotations found depends on the current map scope.  At larger scopes more annotations are found for the same coordinate.

• For a full list of GISDK functions for annotations, see Freehand Items (Annotations).

Examples

 

annotation_ids = FindAnnotaions("Map|" + GetMap(), Coord() )

 

Error Codes

Error Type	Meaning
NotFound	The specified window does not exist
LanguageError	The coodinate type or the window spec type or specification are invalid
