ReferenceNutrientViewerAnnotationsRectangleAnnotation

Class RectangleAnnotation

Rectangle annotations are used to draw rectangles on a page.

Rectangle annotations with transparent fill color are only selectable around their visible lines. This means that you can create a page full of rectangle annotations while annotations behind the rectangle annotation are still selectable.

Right now, rectangle annotations are implemented using SVG images. This behavior is subject to change.

Class

Example

Create a rectangle annotation

const annotation = new NutrientViewer.Annotations.RectangleAnnotation({
  pageIndex: 0,
  boundingBox: new NutrientViewer.Geometry.Rect({
    left: 10,
    top: 10,
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
  }),
  cloudyBorderIntensity: 2,
  cloudyBorderInset: new NutrientViewer.Geometry.Inset({
    left: 9,
    top: 9,
    right: 9,
    bottom: 9,
  })
});

blendMode


    | "normal"
    | "multiply"
    | "screen"
    | "overlay"
    | "darken"
    | "lighten"
    | "colorDodge"
    | "colorBurn"
    | "hardLight"
    | "softLight"
    | "difference"
    | "exclusion"

The blend mode defines how the color of the annotation will be applied to its background.

Default Value

"normal"

boundingBox

NutrientViewer.Geometry.Rect

Position of this annotation on the page. It's necessary that this spans all visible points of the annotation, otherwise hit testing and other features may not work.

canReply

Optional
boolean

canSetGroup

OptionalReadonly
boolean

This property defines whether the user has permission to edit the group of this annotation.

It is only available when collaboration permissions is enabled on Server-Backed deployments.

cloudyBorderInset

NutrientViewer.Geometry.Inset | null

Cloudy border inset.

For rectangle annotations with a cloudy border, it contains the values for the distances from the bounding box to bounding box wrapped by the inner, where the content fits.

Visual representation of the property:

cloudyBorderIntensity

number | null

Intensity of the cloudy border.

If not present or 0, the annotation will use a normal border.

Default Value

null Normal border.

createdAt

Date

The date of the annotation creation.

creatorName

string | null

The name of the creator of the annotation. This is a general purpose string which can easily be spoofed and might not reflect the actual creator of the annotation.

customData

Record<string, unknown> | null

Annotations can store additional user-specified data.

NutrientViewer will not use or evaluate customData in the UI directly. You have full control over this property. For new annotations, this defaults to null.

customData will be stored as JSON through JSON.serialize() and JSON.parse(), and so must be a plain JSON-serializable object.

Example

Adding a new EllipseAnnotation with custom data attached:

const annotation = new NutrientViewer.Annotations.EllipseAnnotation({
  pageIndex: 0,
  boundingBox: new NutrientViewer.Geometry.Rect({
    top: 10,
    left: 10,
    width: 100,
    height: 100
  }),
  customData: {
    circleId: "my-circle"
  }
});

fillColor

NutrientViewer.Color | null

A NutrientViewer.Color to fill the interior of closed shapes (ellipses, rectangles and polygons) or start and / or end line caps of open shapes (lines and polylines).

Default Value

null

getMeasurementDetails

() => { label: string; value: number }

A method the returns the measurement value and label of the annotation.

Example

const { value, label } = annotation.getMeasurementDetails();

console.log(value, label);

group

Optional
string | null

This property is used to define the permission scope for this annotation.

It is only available when collaboration permissions is enabled on Server-Backed deployments.

hidden

boolean

If set, do not display or print the annotation or allow it to interact with the user.

Default Value

false

id

string

A unique identifier to describe the annotation. When an annotation is created in the UI, the viewer has to generate a unique ID.

When changes are saved to the underlying annotation provider, we call Instance#ensureChangesSaved to make sure the annotation has been persisted from the provider.

isDeletable

OptionalReadonly
boolean

This property defines whether this annotation can be deleted or not. The value of this field depends on the set of collaboration permissions defined in the JWT token.

It is only available when collaboration permissions is enabled on Server-Backed deployments.

isEditable

OptionalReadonly
boolean

This property defines whether this annotation can be edited or not. The value of this field depends on the set of collaboration permissions defined in the JWT token.

It is only available when collaboration permissions is enabled on Server-Backed deployments.

locked

boolean

The annotation flag that prevents the annotation from being modified.

Default Value

false

lockedContents

boolean

The annotation flag that prevents the annotation content from being modified.

Default Value

false

measurementPrecision


    | "whole"
    | "oneDp"
    | "twoDp"
    | "threeDp"
    | "fourDp"
    | "1/2"
    | "1/4"
    | "1/8"
    | "1/16"
    | null

The NutrientViewer.MeasurementPrecision used to set the precision for the annotation.

Default Value

NutrientViewer.MeasurementPrecision.TWO

measurementScale

NutrientViewer.MeasurementScale | null

The NutrientViewer.MeasurementScale used to set the scale for the annotation.

name

string | null

An optional field that may be used to identify the annotation.

By default, we'll set that to the same value as the automatically generated Annotation#id.

noPrint

boolean

The annotation flag that prevents the annotation from being printed.

Default Value

false

noRotate

boolean

note

string | null

An optional note that can be set on any annotation.

This value is displayed in the Nutrient Web SDK UI for all annotations except NoteAnnotation, TextAnnotation, WidgetAnnotation and CommentMarkerAnnotation.

noView

boolean

The annotation flag that prevents the annotation from being rendered in the UI.

The annotation may still be part of the printed page, depending of the value of the Annotations.Annotation#noPrint flag.

Default Value

false

noZoom

boolean

opacity

number

A transparency value that is applied to the complete annotation. The value is capped between 0 and 1 inclusive.

Default Value

1

pageIndex

number

The page index on which the annotation is placed. It's important to notice that an annotation can only ever be on one page. If you create for example an ink annotation with lines on two pages, two annotation records will be created.

pageIndex is zero-based and has a maximum value of totalPageCount - 1.

pdfObjectId

number | null

When the annotation is extracted directly from a PDF file, the pdfObjectId refers to the identifier that was used in the PDF document.

This ID is optional since newly created annotations using the SYNCProvider annotation provider won't have a pdfObjectId assigned.

Default Value

null

readOnly

boolean

The annotation flag that makes the annotation read only.

Default Value

false

rotation

number

strokeColor

NutrientViewer.Color | null

A NutrientViewer.Color for the shape lines

Default Value

Color.BLUE

strokeDashArray

[number, number] | null

Optional dash pattern used to draw the shape lines for dashed line style.

strokeWidth

number

The width of the line in page size pixels. By default, we use values between 1 and 40 in the UI.

The stroke width will scale when you zoom in.

Default Value

5

subject

string | null

An optional annotation subject, representing a short description of the subject being addressed by the annotation. This property has no effect on the annotation rendering.

updatedAt

Date

The date of last annotation update.

readableName

Static
string
