AnalyzeEdges

This method analyzes a document set of words that are, within a certain tolerance, aligned either right or left. Use Highlight mode (CDRHighlightVerticalEdgesLeft or CDRHighlightVerticalEdgesRight) to make the results visible.

Syntax

AnalyzeEdges (edgeSide as CDREdgeSide, AlignTolerance as Double, YDist as Double, MinNoOfWords as Long, minDistance as Double, [pageNr as Long = TRUE])
Parameter Definition
edgeSide Specifies if edges that contain left or right aligned words are requested.

Possible values

See CDREdgeSide

AlignTolerance Specifies in millimeters how far the left (right) values of words bounding rectangle can differ in order for it to still be considered aligned.
YDist Specifies in millimeters how far two words can be apart vertically and still belong to the same edge.
MinNoOfWords Specifies how many words have to belong to a valid edge. Edges that contain less than MinNoOfWords after analyzing the document are deleted.
minDistance This parameter is a factor to be multiplied with AlignTolerance. It specifies the minimal horizontal distance of two edges. Set this value 0 to ignore its effect.
pageNr Specifies the page to analyze for edges. Set the value to "-1" to analyze all pages.

Optional parameter. The default value is "-1".
