ANNOTATIONS(FILE)            Khoros             ANNOTATIONS(FILE)

     DESCRIPTION

     Annotation files are ASCII files describing the objects that
     have been created for use as annotations.  This allows the
     user to save a set of annotations for later use.  To save an
     annotation file, go to the "File" pane, enter the desired
     filename in the "SAVE ANNOTATIONS" parameter box, and press
     the <cr> key.  The objects currently annotated on the graph-
     ics workspace will be saved along with their colors and
     positions in an ASCII file for later use.

     Note that positions are saved in ABSOLUTE coordinates.  This
     implies that when an annotation file is read back in by fil-
     ling in the filename in the "GET ANNOTATIONS INPUT" parame-
     ter box and pressing <cr>, objects will automatically be
     placed in their previous positions.  If the workspace from
     which the annotations are saved is different in size from
     the workspace into which the annotations are read back in,
     objects will remain in their original absolute places.
     Thus, if the original workspace was larger than the new
     workspace, some objects may not appear until the new
     workspace is resized to be at least as large as the origi-
     nal.

     Once an annotation file has been read in and the annotations
     placed on in the workspace, objects may be moved, copied,
     deleted, raised or lowered as usual.
