The "Create Annotation" command creates an annotation in the data view. This is useful to add user comments to a spectrum or part of
a spectrum. An annotation consists of rectangular callout box which may be customized to the users preferences. The following picture shows examples
of different annotations:
Annotations are independent and each annotation has its own preference. Size, color, font and the anchor position can
be customized. Annotations can be printed, saved (saving only applies to the *.panorama data format) and hidden from the dataview.
Tips for working with annotations:
Use the Hide Annotations/Show Annotations
commands in the 2D-View context menu to toggle the visibility of all annotations in the spectrum view.
Use the Print Annotations option
in the 2D-spectrum section of the Print Layout to control printing of the annotations.
Open
the Annotation context menu
by Right clicking on an annotation. The context menu enables
the user to edit the annotation text, to delete the annotation, or to
individually control the annotation properties.
