Hi, I would like to move an existing annotation to a new location with the pointer still pointing at the same point on the graph. Is ArrowLength the property I need to change? If so, I would like to keep the anchor, but change the arrow length. Depends on the new location, the arrow length will lengthen and shorten dynamically. How would I do that? Here's my code: Dim currentAnchor As nev.NScalePointAnchor = CType(mMovingAnnotation.Anchor, nev.NScalePointAnchor)If transformViewToData(currentAnchor.VertAxisIndex, e.X, e.Y, scalePoint) ThenmMovingAnnotation.Anchor = New nev.NScalePointAnchor(Me.chart, nev.StandardAxis.PrimaryX, currentAnchor.VertAxisIndex, nev.StandardAxis.Depth, False, scalePoint)mMovingAnnotation.ArrowLength = New Nevron.GraphicsCore.NLength(10, Nevron.GraphicsCore.NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage)Me.ChartControl.Refresh()End If****************************************************** Private Function transformViewToData(ByVal verticalAxisIndex As Integer, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, ByRef result As nevG.NVector3DD) As Boolean' transforms a click point to a point with coords scaled to a specific Y Axis on the chartresult = New nevG.NVector3DDDim ptViewPoint As New nevG.NPointF(CSng(x), CSng(y))Dim viewToScale As New nev.NViewToScale3DTransformation(Me.ChartControl.View.Context, Me.chart, nev.StandardAxis.PrimaryX, verticalAxisIndex, nev.StandardAxis.Depth, 0.0)Return viewToScale.Transform(ptViewPoint, result)End Function Thanks, Clara

Hi Clara, Yes you can use the arrow length and orientation properties to define an offset from the pivot point in polar coordinates. Generally the point pointed from: x = pivot.x + cos(orientation) * arrowlength
y = pivot.y + sin(orientation) * arrowlength is the middle of the label. Why do you need that feature? - we can add a secondary anchor to annotation if it is useful...
Best Regards,

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Where do I put these offsets? Dim newX As Integer = CInt(mMovingAnnotation.Pivot.X + Math.Cos(mMovingAnnotation.Orientation) * 10)Dim newY As Integer = CInt(mMovingAnnotation.Pivot.Y + Math.Cos(mMovingAnnotation.Orientation) * 10)Do I need to change the anchor of the annotation? I tried the following but the entire annotation moved, the pointer moved and pointing to a different location.If transformViewToData(currentAnchor.VertAxisIndex, newX, newY, scalePoint) ThenmMovingAnnotation.Anchor = New nev.NScalePointAnchor(Me.chart, nev.StandardAxis.PrimaryX, currentAnchor.VertAxisIndex, nev.StandardAxis.Depth, False, scalePoint)Me.ChartControl.Refresh() End If Where should I use the new offsets? And what about the arrowLength and Orientation? What should I set them to? Thanks, Clara
