Hello,
I have to use this excellent library for a simple app to label parts of images.

There are some basic requirements. When the user clicks the mouse, a rectangle (vector) should be created with its centre exactly at the point of the click. Is it possible to do this by just adjusting some parameters or do I have to manually add or draw the rectangle object on the background image within the code's onMouseClick event?

Thank you very much for the hint and the help.

Best regards
Martin

Hi Martin

You have two main options:

1. Add a rectangular shape layer object:

You can either add this automatically (click and drag) using mlCreateShapeLayers:

Or manually in a mouse event using LayersAdd();

Of course, you would need to merge (burn it) with the image when you are done:

2. Draw directly to the bitmap's TIECanvas, e.g.

Ensure you call ImageEnView1.Update() to display the canvas changes in the viewer.
