Configure Automatic Placement of Annotations in Vizit Pro

A new feature added in Vizit 6.0 is the ability to configure annotations to be placed on the document at a predetermined location and size.

In particular, this will involve altering the actions in the Annotations tab of the toolbar. By default, this section looks like the following: 

...

},{
    titleKey: 'Annotations_tab_title',
    id: 'annotations',
    items: [
        'file.save',
	'annotate.burn',
	'|',
	'annotate.ellipse',
	'annotate.line',
	'annotate.polygon',
	'annotate.freehand',
	'annotate.highlighter',
	'annotate.rectangle',

... 

To configure one of those annotations to be placed at a specific location, you must use the following "options" syntax:

...

},{
    titleKey: 'Annotations_tab_title',
    id: 'annotations',
    items: [
        'file.save',
	'annotate.burn',
	'|',
        {
	    action: 'annotate.ellipse',
            options: {
                position: { x: 100, y: 200 },
                size: { width: 500, height: 500 }
            }
        },
	'annotate.line',
	'annotate.polygon',
	'annotate.freehand',
	'annotate.highlighter',
	'annotate.rectangle',

... 

Using the above code, when the user clicks on the "Ellipse" icon in the toolbar, a 500 pixel by 500 pixel ellipse (a circle) annotation will be placed in the upper left hand corner of the document - offset 100 pixels in from the left and 200 pixels from the top.
