Detailed Description

Represents a map layer containing a set of georeferenced annotations, e.g.

markers, lines, polygons or text items.

Annotation layers store a set of QgsAnnotationItem items, which are rendered according to the item's z-order.

context	writing context (used for transform from absolute to relative paths)
categories	the style categories to be written

Returns

true in case of success.
