FindAnnotations()

Summary

Finds the annotations closest to a coordinate

Changes

Added in version 2020.

Syntax

ids = FindAnnotations(string window_spec, coord c)

Argument	Contents
window_spec	The type and name of the window containing the annotation
c	A coordinate

Returns

An array of annotation ids.

Notes

FindAnnotations() returns null if no annotation is found.
The annotations found depends on the current map scope. At larger scopes more annotations are found for the same coordinate.

Examples

annotation_ids = FindAnnotaions("Map|" + GetMap(), Coord() )

Error Codes
