      • Wpf Annotation Demo - WPF analog of Annotation Demo.
      • Wpf Print Demo - WPF analog of Print Demo.
      • Wpf Pdf Editor Demo - WPF analog of Pdf Editor Demo.
  • Some minor fixes.

What's new in this version of VintaSoftAnnotation.NET Plug-in:
  • Completely revised the annotation engine for the purpose to make it maximally flexible and fast.
  • Created the hierarchy of classes for WinForms in compliance with Model-View-Presenter (MVP) software pattern:
    • Created AnnotationData and derived classes which are responsible for storing annotation data.
    • Created AnnotationView and derived classes which are responsible for annotation visual appearance and interaction between user and annotation.
    • Created AnnotationVisualTool which can be used for building, displaying and editing image annotations in image viewer.
  • Created the hierarchy of classes for WPF in compliance with Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) software pattern:
