#include "ltdoc2.h"

L_LTDOC2_API L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_Doc2DetectOrientationDegree(hDoc, nPageIndex, pnRotate)

L_HDOC2 hDoc;	/* handle to the OCR document.*/
L_INT nPageIndex;	/* page index */
L_INT * pnRotate;	/* pointer to a variable */

Determines the angle by which the specified page needs to be oriented.

Parameter	Description
hDoc	Handle to the OCR document.
nPageIndex	Index of the page for which to get the orientation angle. This index is zero-based.
pnRotate	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the orientation angle, in degrees. Possible values are: +90, +180, and +270. The rotation is clockwise.

Returns

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

Comments

The purpose of orientation is to make the page more readable during recognition by making sure the top of the page is positioned properly. That is, a page that is oriented correctly like this:

is much more readable than the same page oriented like this:

Please note that this function just provides the angle of orientation that is needed. It does not actually orient the page. To orient the page, call the L_Doc2AutoOrientPage function.

If the specified page does not need to be oriented the pnRotate parameter is updated with 0.

To automatically orient a page, call the L_Doc2AutoOrientPage function.
