annotate()

Post by hproe »

Hi -

It appears that annotate() only works with panel type MAP, but not with panel type GLOBE. Is this intended or difficult to obtain? In any case, it would be convenient to the same capability in a globe display.

From one of the developers ...

annotate() method is just a scripting wrapper around the GUI's "Drawing Control" feature ("Display -> Draw Freely"), which does not work on the globe displays. This is a pretty fundamental limitation of the way annotate() is implemented, so the request has been added to our inquiry system and will be prioritized in the near future.
