## Detailed Description

A note annotation (known as "text" annotation in <PDF reference 1.7>) represents a "sticky note" attached to a point in the PDF document. When closed, the annotation appears as an icon; when open, it displays a pop-up window containing the text of the note in a font and size chosen by the viewer application.
A note annotation can also be used as a reply to a markup annotation, or a state annotation:

- When as a reply, the note annotation should not be shown alone but together with other replies in the form of threaded comments. Function Note.GetReplyTo can be used to get the markup annotation, to which the note annotation replies.

- When as a state, the note annotation would not be shown alone. Function Note.IsStateAnnot can be used to judge if a note annotation is used as a state.

Note annotation is a kind of markup annotation, so class Note is derived from class Markup . It offers functions to get/set note annotation's properties and reset appearance of a note annotation.

Note
  For a newly created common note annotation, if user calls function Annot.ResetAppearanceStream directly without setting any properties, the default appearance will be used:
  border color = 0xFFFFFF00 (yellow), opacity = 1.0, icon name = "Comment".

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Note()

foxit.pdf.annots.Note.Note | ( | Annot | annot | ) |
| inline

Constructor, with parent class object.

Parameters

  [in] | annot | Parent class object.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ GetIconName()

string foxit.pdf.annots.Note.GetIconName | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Get icon name.

This property has effect on note annotation's appearance. Note annotation has predefined standard icon names:
"Check", "Circle", "Comment", "Cross", "Help", "Insert", "Key", "NewParagraph", "Note", "Paragraph", "RightArrow", "RightPointer", "Star", "UpArrow", "UpLeftArrow".
An empty icon name string means current note annotation would be treated as "Note" icon.

Returns
  Icon name string.

## ◆ GetOpenStatus()

bool foxit.pdf.annots.Note.GetOpenStatus | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Get open status.

Open status is a boolean value that specifies whether a note annotation should initially be displayed open:

- true means the note annotation should be initially be displayed open.

- false means the note annotation should be initially be displayed closed.

Returns
  Open status.

## ◆ GetReplyTo()

Markup foxit.pdf.annots.Note.GetReplyTo | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Get the markup annotation, which current note annotation is in reply to.

This function is only useful when current note annotation is used as a reply.

Returns
  A markup annotation object, which current note annotation is in reply to. If the return value of function Annot.IsEmpty (inherited from Markup's parent class) for the returned markup annotation object is true, that means current note annotation is not used as a reply.

## ◆ GetState()

Markup.State foxit.pdf.annots.Note.GetState | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Get the state.

This function can only be used when current note annotation is used as a state annotation. Function Note.IsStateAnnot can be used to check if current note annotation is used as a state annotation.

Returns
  The state. Please refer to values starting from foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateMarked and this would be one of these values. If current note annotation is not a state annotation, This function will return 0.

## ◆ GetStateModel()

Markup.StateModel foxit.pdf.annots.Note.GetStateModel | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Get the state model.

This function can only be used when current note annotation is used as a state annotation. Function Note.IsStateAnnot can be used to check if current note annotation is used as a state annotation.

Returns
  The state model. If function succeeds, the return value would be foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.StateModel.e_StateModelMarked or foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.StateModel.e_StateModelReview .
  If current note annotation is not a state annotation, this function will return 0.

## ◆ IsStateAnnot()

bool foxit.pdf.annots.Note.IsStateAnnot | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Check if current note annotation is used as a state annotation.

Returns
  true means current note annotation is used as a state annotation, while false means current note annotation is just a common note annotation.

## ◆ SetIconName()

void foxit.pdf.annots.Note.SetIconName | ( | string | icon_name | ) |
| inline

Set icon name.

This property has effect on note annotation's appearance. Note annotation has predefined standard icon names:
"Check", "Circle", "Comment", "Cross", "Help", "Insert", "Key", "NewParagraph", "Note", "Paragraph", "RightArrow", "RightPointer", "Star", "UpArrow", "UpLeftArrow".
An empty icon name string means current note annotation would be treated as "Note" icon.
For a newly created note annotation, if current function is not called, icon name will be "Comment" by default.
If user wants the new icon name has effect on annotation's appearance, please call function Annot.ResetAppearanceStream after setting the new icon name.

Parameters

  [in] | icon_name | New icon name string to be set.

Returns
  None.

## ◆ SetOpenStatus()

void foxit.pdf.annots.Note.SetOpenStatus | ( | bool | status | ) |
| inline

Set open status.

Open status is a boolean value that specifies whether a note annotation should initially be displayed open:

- true means the note annotation should be initially be displayed open.

- false means the note annotation should be initially be displayed closed.

Parameters

  [in] | status | The new open status value.

Returns
  None.

## ◆ SetState()

void foxit.pdf.annots.Note.SetState | ( | Markup.State | state | ) |
| inline

Set the state.

This function can only be used when current note annotation is used as a state annotation. Function Note.IsStateAnnot can be used to check if current note annotation is used as a state annotation.

Parameters

  [in] | state | New state. It should be one of following values: If state model is foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.StateModel.e_StateModelMarked , the state should be foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateMarked or foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateUnmarked . If state model is foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.StateModel.e_StateModelReview , the state should be foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateAccepted , foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateRejected , foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateCancelled , foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateCompleted , foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateDeferred , foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateFuture , or foxit.pdf.annots.Markup.State.e_StateNone . State model can be gotten by function Note.GetStateModel .

Returns
  None.
