}
}
};
annotator.Add(textField);
annotator.Save("result.bmp");
}
GroupDocs.Annotation makes it easier for Net developers to remove annotation details from ODS files within any Net-based application by implementing a few easy steps.
// 1- How to remove annotation from document using annotation index
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("result.bmp"))
{
annotator.Remove(0);
annotator.Save("removed.bmp");
}
// 2- How to remove annotation from document using annotation object
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("result.bmp"))
{
var tmp = annotator.Get();
annotator.Remove(tmp[0]);
annotator.Save("removed.bmp");
}
// 3- How to remove some annotations from document using list of ID’s
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("result.bmp"))
{
var idList = new List{1, 2, 3};
annotator.Remove(idList);
annotator.Save("removed.bmp");
}
// 4- How to remove some annotations from document using list of annotations
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("result.bmp"))
{
var tmp = annotator.Get();
annotator.Remove(tmp);
annotator.Save("removed.bmp");
}
GroupDocs.Annotation makes it easier for Net developers to update various annotation properties from ODS files within any Net-based application by implementing a few easy steps.
// open annotated document
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("result.bmp"))
{
//assuming we are going to change some properties of existing annotation
AreaAnnotation updated = new AreaAnnotation
{
// It's important to set existed annotation Id
Id = 1,
BackgroundColor = 255,
Box = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 200),
CreatedOn = DateTime.Now,
Message = "This is updated annotation",
Replies = new List
{
new Reply
{
Comment = "Updated first comment",
RepliedOn = DateTime.Now
},
new Reply
{
Comment = "Updated second comment",
RepliedOn = DateTime.Now
}
}
};
// update annotation
annotator.Update(updated);
annotator.Save("result.bmp");
}
GroupDocs.Annotation makes it easy for Net developers to annotate documents and extract annotation information from ODS files within any Net-based application by implementing a few easy steps.
// for using this example input file ("annotated.bmp") must be with annotations
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("annotated.bmp"))
{
List annotations = annotator.Get();
XmlSerializer formatter = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List));
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("annotations.xml", FileMode.Create))
{
fs.SetLength(0);
formatter.Serialize(fs, annotations);
}
}

Files with ODS extension stand for OpenDocument Spreadsheet Document format that are editable by user. Data is stored inside ODF file into rows and columns. It is XML-based format and is one of the several subtypes in the Open Document Formats (ODF) family. The format is specified as part of the ODF 1.2 specifications published and maintained by OASIS. A number of applications on Windows as well as other operating systems can open ODS files for editing and manipulation including Microsoft Excel, NeoOffice and LibreOffice. ODS files can also be converted into other spreadsheet formats as well like XLS, XLSX and others by different applications.
