Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your patch. I commited the GetQuadPoints method you added. Instead of adding the quadpoints argument to the CreateAnnotation method, I added a method SetQuadPoints. This should work for you as well and is more consistent with all the currently available annotations.
The annotation API is not very good and needs some refactoring. So the set
method is no good solution either, but I prefer it more to adding all
possible arguments to the CreateAnnoations method. This might be a matter of
taste. Well, maybe I'l lfind sometimes a minute to think of a better
approach. Patches are welcome of course :)
best regards
Dom
