Change default style of free hand annotations

[Patrick Herber]

Hello!
Currently when we add a free hand annotation this appears in black with a width of 1px.
We would like to change these default settings to colour red, width 3px.
Is it possible? How should we proceed?
Thanks and best regards
Patrick

Hello,

You can add the following to config.js:

$(document).on('viewerLoaded', function() {

  var freeHandTool = readerControl.toolModeMap.AnnotationCreateFreeHand;

  freeHandTool.defaults.StrokeColor = new Annotations.Color(255, 0, 0);

  freeHandTool.defaults.StrokeThickness = 3;

});

Hi Justin,

Is there a way to disable the default invoke of the free hand tool. We want that the users shouldn't have any annotation tool selected by default when the document is opened.

Hello,

Are you referring to the Annotation Sample? In that sample, we have custom code that sets the FreeHandTool to be the current tool, but in normal WebViewer that doesn't happen.
