Summary

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public class LineRemoveCommand : RasterCommand

@interface LTLineRemoveCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class LineRemoveCommand 
    extends RasterCommand

public ref class LineRemoveCommand : public RasterCommand

class LineRemoveCommand(RasterCommand):

Remarks

This command is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

This command removes horizontal and vertical lines from scanned text documents. If the lines pass through text, the LineRemoveCommand properties/Constructor parameters can be configured to remove or preserve the text. The behavior of this command can be further modified by using an Event Handler that handles the LineRemoveCommandEventArgs.
This command works only on 1-bit black and white images.
If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this command. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.
This command does not support signed data images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

For more information, refer to Cleaning Up 1-Bit Images.
