Software Companions - PDF, DWF, PLT and TIFF Viewing and Conversion Software

Software Companions XML Markup Format Description

The Software Companions XML markup format can be easily created by using a text editor. You can also export XML files from ViewCompanion.
With this format you can create easily your own custom markup files from scratch.
In ViewCompanion you can use XML formatted markup files in combination with the command line parameter /lxml during command line conversion and printing. You may also load XML markup files from inside the application by using the "Add From File" menu command or add it during batch conversion.
If you're using scViewerX you can load XML markup files using the MarkupAddFromFile method. To load XML data already in memory you can use MarkupCreateFromXML.
The default extension for a Software Companions XML Markup file is .scmx, but .xml may also be used.




File Format Specification


The file must start with the following header:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SCMarkupFormat>

Only UTF-8 encoding is currently supported.
The header and elements section then follows.
A complete sample xml markup file is shown below:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SCMarkupFormat>
<Header>
   <Unit>mm</Unit>
</Header>
<Layers>
   <layer name="Markup Layer 1" color="#0000FF" enabled='1'/>
   <layer name="Markup Layer 2" color="#00FF00" enabled='1'/>
</Layers>
<Elements>
   <Element>
      <type>Text</type>
      <layer>0</layer>
      <page>0</page>
      <center x="50%" y="50%"/>
      <user>Peter</user>
      <color>#FF0000</color>
      <text>This is a text</text>
      <rotation>45</rotation>
      <font height='10' facename='Times New Roman'/>
   </Element>
</Elements>
</SCMarkupFormat>

This xml markup file defines a single text element. The text center position is at 50% of document width and 50% of document height.
The markup coordinate system origin is always the lower left corner of the drawing.
The coordinates can be given in millimeters, inches or native (1016 DPI) values.
All color values are coded as red, green and blue intensities in hexadecimal notation (HTML standard - #RRGGBB).
The Layers section defines two layers.
You will find more information about the different section descriptions below.




Header Section


This section contains settings that are common for all markup elements.
The available entries in this section are:


Unit


Accepted values:


ValueDescription
mmCoordinates and sizes are given in millimeters.
inchCoordinates and sizes are given in inches.
milCoordinates and sizes are given in 1/1000 inch.
nativeCoordinates and sizes are given in native coordinates (1016 DPI).

This element is required.




Layers Section


This section contains markup layer definitions. Each layer definition can have three different attributes.
The first defined layer will have index 0, the next one 1, etc. The layer index is used when elements are defined.


The description of each layer attribute is given below:


Attribute NameDescription
NameName to use for the layer.
ColorDefault color to use for elements placed on this layer.
EnabledEnter a value different from 0 to make the layer visible.

Sample layer defintion:


<Layer name="Markup Layer 1" color="#0000FF" enabled='1'/>

This sample xml defintion will create a layer that is named "Markup Layer 1", with default color blue and it will be visible and enabled.
Please note that the layers section is optional, and is only required if you want to add more than one layer of markups.




Elements Section


This section contains one or more Element entries.
