MoveAnnotation()
Summary
Moves an annotation to a new location.
Syntax
MoveAnnotation(string window_spec, integer id, integer delta_x, integer delta_y)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| window_spec | Window Specification |
| id | Annotation ID |
| delta_x | The shift to be added to the longitude/X position of the annotation |
| delta_y | The shift to be added to the latitude/Y position of the annotation |
Notes
-
Map annotations must be located between -90 and +90 degrees latitude. If a call to MoveAnnotation() causes the annotation to move out of this range, then the annotation is not moved.
-
For map annotations, delta_x and delta_y are specified in millionths of degrees. For layout window annotations, delta_x and delta_y are specified in hundredths of a point (1/7200ths of an inch).
-
For a full list of GISDK functions for annotations, see Freehand Items (Annotations).
