Detailed Description

An annotation positions a content layer relative to some anchor point.

Annotations can be used to add text or images that are anchored to a feature of a graph. For example, the graph title is an annotation anchored to the graph. The annotation content layer can be any CPTLayer.

Method Documentation

init

- (nonnull instancetype) init

Initializes a newly allocated CPTAnnotation object.

The initialized object will have the following properties:

• annotationHostLayer = nil
• contentLayer = nil
• displacement = (0.0, 0.0)
• contentAnchorPoint = (0.5, 0.5)
• rotation = 0.0

Returns

The initialized object.

initWithCoder:

- (nullable instancetype) initWithCoder:

(nonnull NSCoder *)

coder

Reimplemented in CPTLayerAnnotation, and CPTPlotSpaceAnnotation.

positionContentLayer

- (void) positionContentLayer

Positions the content layer relative to its reference anchor.

This method must be overridden by subclasses. The default implementation does nothing.

Provided by category CPTAnnotation(AbstractMethods).

Property Documentation

annotationHostLayer

- (nullable CPTAnnotationHostLayer *) annotationHostLayer

readwritenonatomicweak

The host layer for the annotation content.

contentAnchorPoint

- (CGPoint) contentAnchorPoint

readwritenonatomicassign

The anchor point for the content layer.

contentLayer

- (nullable CPTLayer *) contentLayer

readwritenonatomicstrong

The annotation content.

displacement

- (CGPoint) displacement

readwritenonatomicassign

The displacement from the layer anchor point.

rotation

- (CGFloat) rotation

readwritenonatomicassign

The rotation of the label in radians.
