Classes > WaveformAnalyzer class > Methods > WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemHorizontalLineAdd method

Remarks

Adds a new horizontal line that will be displayed over the waveform's graphics.

On the screenshot below you can see a set of horizontal lines displayed over the waveform, each with its own set of properties, positions and buddy text:

This line can be manually moved on the screen in one of the following ways:

•	horizontally through code using the WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemHorzPositionSet method

•	vertically through code using the WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemVertPositionSet method or through the WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemHorizontalLineParamsSet method.

•	horizontally and vertically through the mouse, causing the CallbackWaveformAnalyzerHorzLineMoved delegate to be invoked.

During playback of the loaded sound, the CallbackWaveformAnalyzerHorzLineReached delegate is invoked when playback position reaches the start position of the horizontal line and the CallbackWaveformAnalyzerHorzLineLeaved delegate is invoked when playback position leaves the end position of the horizontal line.

This method fails if no sound is currently loaded into the editor.

The horizontal line is automatically destroyed, as all of the other existing graphic items, when the loaded sound is discarded from memory through the RecordedSound.FreeMemory method.

A horizontal line can be removed through the WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemRemove method and hidden or shown through the WaveformAnalyzer.GraphicItemShow method.
