Key |
Type |
Value |
---|---|---|
Subtype |
name |
(Required) The type of annotation that this dictionary describes; shall be Polygon or PolyLine for a polygon or polyline annotation, respectively. |
Vertices |
array |
(Required) An array of numbers (see Table 174 ) specifying the width and dash pattern that shall represent the alternating horizontal and vertical coordinates, respectively, of each vertex, in default user space. |
LE |
array |
(Optional; meaningful only for polyline annotations) An array of two names that shall specify the line ending styles. The first and second elements of the array shall specify the line ending styles for the endpoints defined, respectively, by the first and last pairs of coordinates in the Vertices array. Table 176 shows the possible values. Default value: [ / None /None ]. |
BS |
dictionary |
(Optional) A border style dictionary (see Table 166 ) specifying the width and dash pattern that shall be used in drawing the line. The annotation dictionary’s AP entry, if present, shall take precedence over the Vertices and BS entries; see Ta b l e 168 and 12.5.5, “Appearance Streams.” |
IC |
array |
(Optional; PDF 1.4) An array of numbers that shall be in the range 0.0 to 1.0 and shall specify the interior color with which to fill the annotation’s line endings (see Ta b l e 176 ). The number of array elements determines the colour space in which the colour shall be defined: 0 No colour; transparent 1DeviceGray 3DeviceRGB 4DeviceCMYK |
BE |
dictionary |
(Optional; meaningful only for polygon annotations) A border effect dictionary that shall describe an effect applied to the border described by the BS entry (see Ta b l e 167 ). |
IT |
name |
(Optional; PDF 1.6) A name that shall describe the intent of the polygon or polyline annotation (see also Table 170 ). The following values shall be valid: PolygonCloud The annotation is intended to function as a cloud object. PolyLineDimension (PDF 1.7) The polyline annotation is intended to function as a dimension. PolygonDimension (PDF 1.7) The polygon annotation is intended to function as a dimension. |
Measure |
dictionary |
(Optional; PDF 1.7) A measure dictionary (see Table 261 ) that shall specify the scale and units that apply to the annotation. |
