General Segmentation

Before starting the segmentation process, a valid image should be provided to the Control through the Bitmap property.

A stripe is a rectangle defined on the bitmap area encompassing the full bitmap width. With auto-segmentation, the stripes are non-overlapping and contiguous, covering the entire bitmap.

A segment is a rectangular area on the bitmap that is defined to be of either text or picture type. The type of the segment depends on the content of this area.

A stripe can contain any number of segments. With auto-segmentation, segments are completely inside of stripes. With manual segmentation, stripes and segments can intersect.
