public interface ICallout
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the callout.

Description

ICallout is the genereric interface for properties common to IBalloonCallout, ILineCallout and ISimpleLineCallout. AnchorPoint is the location of the fixed from point on the leader. LeaderTolerance is the minimum distance the callout must be from the anchor before a leader is drawn.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Summary

IPoint	getAnchorPoint() The anchor point.
double	getLeaderTolerance() The closest distance to the text the anchor point can be for the callout to draw.
void	setAnchorPoint(IPoint point) The anchor point.
void	setLeaderTolerance(double leaderTolerance) The closest distance to the text the anchor point can be for the callout to draw.

Method Detail

getAnchorPoint

IPoint getAnchorPoint()
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException

The anchor point.

Description

AnchorPoint is the location from which the leader will be drawn to the callout. This is typically the X,Y coordinates of the feature being labeled.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPoint

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setAnchorPoint

void setAnchorPoint(IPoint point)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

The anchor point.

Description

AnchorPoint is the location from which the leader will be drawn to the callout. This is typically the X,Y coordinates of the feature being labeled.

Parameters:

point - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPoint (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getLeaderTolerance

double getLeaderTolerance()
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException

The closest distance to the text the anchor point can be for the callout to draw.

Description

LeaderTolerance is the minimum distance the callout must be from the anchor before a leader is drawn. This distance is specified in points (approx. 1/72 of an inch).
