L_Doc2AddZoneRect

#include "ltdoc2.h"

L_LTDOC2_API L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_Doc2AddZoneRect(hDoc, nPageIndex, nZoneIndex, prc)

Adding a rectangle to a user zone.

Parameters

L_HDOC2 hDoc

Handle to the OCR document. This handle is obtained by calling the L_Doc2StartUp function.

L_INT nPageIndex

Specifies the index of the page. This is a zero-based index.

L_INT nZoneIndex

Specifies the index of the zone. This is a zero-based index.

RECT * prc

Pointer to RECT structure to be added to specified zone.

Returns

Value Meaning
SUCCESS The function was successful.
< 1 An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will insert a new rectangle into the specified zone. The zone will be irregular and formed from a union of rectangles. This is called a pizzabox shape.

A pizzabox shape is a union of rectangles, where the top of each rectangle in the union must touch the bottom of the rectangle above it. A rectangle can touch at most one rectangle above and one below. The following zones cannot have a pizzabox shape:

✅ IMPORTANT

Before inserting a new rectangle, you must add the zone to the user zone list by calling the L_Doc2AddZone / L_Doc2AddZoneExt function.

Because the OCR engine does not support overlapping user zones, the newly added rectangle must be disjointed from the other zones.
