Placing vector objects

The IN_PlaceVectorObject function places a vector object on the specified edit layer. Depending on your edition of Imagenation, you can place arcs, lines, polylines, polygons, ellipses, annotations, text, and groups of objects (which can be used as symbols) with this function. Other functions allow you to place text objects, hotspots, and symbols specifically.

Note that the IN_PlaceVectorObject function has not been tested in Imagenation for UNIX.
