Annotation Mode

Each sheet can have its own drawing layer that can contain built-in shapes, custom shapes, and annotations (free-hand drawings). You can use shapes and annotations to draw attention to parts of your spreadsheet or to emphasize some information or process involving the use of the spreadsheet. For example, you can display a logo on your sheet, show a process with flowchart-like graphics, or use shapes to simply highlight a particular result.

You can add free-hand drawing to the drawing layer of the sheet using annotation mode. Annotation mode allows the user to draw in free-hand mode on the shapes layer and to save the annotation on the sheet as a shape.






"As a long time user of your Spread COM product I have always been pleased with the flexibility and user friendly aspects of the control and it is great to see that your Windows Forms control continues this tradition!

Now that you are part of the same company which created ActiveReports (another product I have been a user of for a long time) I look forward to creating feature rich applications which will benefit my customers and my company. Excited to get started!"
