## Detailed Description

A free text annotation displays text directly on the page. So free text annotation does not need a related pop-up annotation to show the text.
Free text annotation is a kind of markup annotation, so class FreeText is derived from class Markup , and also offers functions to get/set free text annotation's properties and reset appearance stream of a free text annotation.

Note
  For a newly created free text annotation, if user calls function FoxitPDFSDKPython2.Annot.ResetAppearanceStream directly without setting any properties, the default appearance will be used:
  border width = 1.0, border style = FoxitPDFSDKPython2.BorderInfo.e_Solid , border color = 0xFFFF0000 (red), opacity = 1.0, alignment = 0 (as left-justified), default appearance flags = FoxitPDFSDKPython2.DefaultAppearance.e_FlagFont | FoxitPDFSDKPython2.DefaultAppearance.e_FlagTextColor | FoxitPDFSDKPython2.DefaultAppearance.e_FlagFontSize , default appearance font is created based on FoxitPDFSDKPython2.Font.e_StdIDHelvetica , default appearance text size = 12, default appearance text color = 0xFF0000FF (blue).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ FreeText()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython2.FreeText.FreeText | ( |  | annot | ) |

Constructor, with parent class object.

Parameters

  [in] | annot | Parent class object.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ AllowTextOverflow()

def FoxitPDFSDKPython2.FreeText.AllowTextOverflow | ( |  | is_text_overflow | ) |

Decide whether to allow the text of freetext to overflow or not.

For callout object and textbox object, if this function is not called,text of callout or textbox is allowed to overflow by default. For typewriter object, if this function is not called, text of typerwriter is not allowed to overflow by default.

Parameters

  [in] | is_text_overflow | A boolean value to decide whether text content is allowed to overflow or not when the size of the freetext rectangle is smaller than the size of the text content: true means text content is allowed to overflow. So in this case, overflowed text content will be truncated. false means text content is not allowed to overflow. So in this case, the callout rectangle will be adapted to contain the whole text content automatically.

Returns
  None.

## ◆ GetAlignment()
