A rectangle to crop

[relapse]

How could I get a rectangle of a certain size drawn on the program start to crop it later.

selection.zip

What object is it? A crop box?

Hello relapse,

The shot you have attached appears like a regular rectangle that you can add with the respective tool.

If you want to actually crop a page's content and make only portion of it visible - then please check the Document -> Crop Pages options in our Viewer.

OK, I've found the following code in the program which sets some of the rect properties:

Code: Select all

            ctrl.SetProperty("Commenting.Rect.Styles[0].FColor", 0);
            ctrl.SetProperty("Commenting.Rect.Styles[0].Opacity", 0.4);
            ctrl.SetProperty("Tools.Rect.KeepSelected", false.ToString());
            ctrl.SetProperty("Tools.Active", "Rect");

But how can I set the size of that rect?

Hello relapse,

I believe it will be much easier if you create the rectangle using JS.

E.g.

Code: Select all

var annot = this.addAnnot({
page: 0,
type: "Square",
author: "Your Name",
name: "myStamp",
rect: [200, 200, 350, 350]})

For samples how to execute JS in our Viewer AX please refer to the samples provided with the AX.
