Detailed Description

Abstract base class for annotation items which are drawn over a map.

QgsAnnotation is an abstract base class for map annotation items. These annotations can be drawn within a map, and have either a fixed map position (retrieved using mapPosition()) or are placed relative to the map's frame (retrieved using relativePosition()). Annotations with a fixed map position also have a corresponding QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, which can be determined by calling mapPositionCrs().

Derived classes should implement their custom painting routines within a renderAnnotation() override.
