Hello sachin,

Depending on when you want to get the area (on annotation added, or on annotation changed) it can change the event you listen to, but generally you can do:

instance.Core.annotationManager.addEventListener('annotationChanged', (annots, action, info) => {
  if(action === 'modify') {
   annots[0].getContents() // get the area (the contents)
  }

})

Let me know if this works for you.

Best regards,
Tyler

Hello sachin,

The getContents() is the API that gets the value.
