The annotation control file (annotationcontrol.xml) lists the files that can be used together to display annotations.
The following is an example of an annotation control file entry:
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?> <AnnotationControlFactory Version=”1.0”> <AnnotationRules Id=”Annotations” Description=”Annotation Rules and Abbreviations”> <AnnotationFile Name=”%PCEConfig%\Annotations\annotationfile.xml” /> <AbbreviationFile Name=”%PCEConfig%\Annotations\abbreviationfile.xml” /> <PatternDefinitionFile Name=”%PCEConfig%\Annotations\pattern_definitions.xml”/> <ImageAnnotationFile Name=”%PCEConfig%\Annotations\image_annotations.xml” /> <LightSectorAnnotationFile Name=”%PCEConfig%\Annotations\ light_sector_annotations.xml” /> </AnnotationRules> </AnnotationControlFactory> |
The system annotation, image annotation, abbreviation, and pattern definition files are used. The settings in these three files are accessed by the presentation control file through the <AnnotationRules/> tag.
The annotation control file contains the following fields.
Tag | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|
