L_Doc2AddZoneRect

#include "ltdoc2.h"

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

L_HDOC2 hDoc;	/* handle to the OCR document */
L_INT nPageIndex;	/* page index */
L_INT nZoneIndex;	/* zone index */
RECT * prc;	/* pointer to RECT structure */

Adding a rectangle to a user zone.

Parameter	Description
hDoc	Handle to the OCR document. This handle is obtained by calling the L_Doc2StartUp function.
nPageIndex	Specifies the index of the page. This is a zero-based index.
nZoneIndex	Specifies the index of the zone. This is a zero-based index.
prc	Pointer to RECT structure to be added to specified zone.

Returns

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:

Table zones (must be rectangular)
OMR zone (can contain non-touching rectangles)

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

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