Version 17.5 of this C API has changed from version 17 as follows:
Removed functions:
L_UnlockSupport has been removed and replaced with L_SetLicenseFile and L_SetLicenseBuffer .
L_SetDJVOptions
L_GetDJVOptions
Changed functions:
L_GetBitmapHistogram: The type of pHisto parameter has been changed from L_UINT32 to L_UINT64.
L_AutoZoneBitmap A flag has been added to uFlags (AUTOZONE_TEXT_DETECTION) that causes the function to modify the original bitmap so that all it contains is text. For this reason, if you set the flag be sure to make a copy of the original bitmap if you want to keep it.
Changed structures:
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS bEnabled member was removed, see Changes to options for rasterizing document format below.
FILEPDFOPTIONS nXResolution and nYResolution members were removed, see Changes to options for rasterizing document format below.
FILEXPSOPTIONS nXResolution and nYResolution members were removed, see Changes to options for rasterizing document format below.
FILETXTOPTIONS dLeftMarg, dTopMarg, dRightMarg, dBottomMarg, dPaperWidth and dPaperHeight members were removed, see Changes to options for rasterizing document format below.
FILERTFOPTIONS dLeftMarg, dTopMarg, dRightMarg, dBottomMarg, dPaperWidth, dPaperHeight, nXResolution and nYResolution members were removed, see Changes to options for rasterizing document format below.
STATISTICSINFO: The types of uPixelCnt and uTotalPixelCnt members have been changed from L_UINT to L_UINT64.
PAINTCALLBACKDATA pFillRect member added.
New structures
New functions:
L_GetBitmapColorType - used to obtain the type of the image and whether it's black and white, colored or grayscale, along with the confidence level.
L_SetLicenseFile - used to set a runtime license for LEADTOOLS.
L_SetLicenseBuffer - used to set a runtime license for LEADTOOLS.
L_PrnClntSetPrinterConnectionDll
L_PrnSetUserDefaultPrinterSpecifications
L_PrnGetUserDefaultPrinterSpecifications
Changes to options for rasterizing document formats:
In LEADTOOLS 17.5, the RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS structure is used exclusively to determine and calculate the page size, resolution and margins (rasterization) when loading document file formats that do not have physical size as a raster image. These file formats are listed in the table below:
LEADTOOLS Format Identifier |
Description |
FILE_RAS_PDF |
|
FILE_POSTSCRIPT |
|
FILE_EPS and FILE_EPSPOSTSCRIPT |
|
FILE_XPS |
|
FILE_TXT |
|
FILE_RTF_RASTER |
|
FILE_DOC |
|
FILE_DOCX |
|
FILE_XLS |
|
FILE_XLSX |
|
FILE_PPT |
|
FILE_PPTX |
In previous versions of LEADTOOLS, the options to control the rasterization process have been consolidated into the RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS structure and old structure members were deprecated. In 17.5, these deprecated members are removed from the toolkit. The following table lists the removed members and their replacements:
Removed Member |
Replacement |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.bEnabled |
None. This has been removed and RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS is always used when rasterizing document files (the equivalent RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.Enabled = true in previous versions of LEADTOOLS) |
FILEPDFOPTIONS.nXResolution and FILEPDFOPTIONS.nYResolution |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uXResolution and RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uYResolution |
FILEXPSOPTIONS.nXResolution and FILEXPSOPTIONS.nYResolution |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uXResolution and RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uYResolution |
FILETXTOPTIONS.dLeftMarg, FILETXTOPTIONS.dTopMarg, FILETXTOPTIONS.dRightMarg, FILETXTOPTIONS.dBottomMarg, |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dLeftMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dTopMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dRightMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dBottomMargin, |
FILERTFOPTIONS.dLeftMarg, FILERTFOPTIONS.dTopMarg, FILERTFOPTIONS.dRightMarg, FILERTFOPTIONS.dBottomMarg, |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dLeftMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dTopMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dRightMargin, RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.dBottomMargin, |
As well as the changes listed above, note that the following members contain updated default values:
Member |
Old Value |
New Value |
Notes |
RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uXResolution and RASTERIZEDOCOPTIONS.uYResolution |
0, 0 |
150, 150 |
In previous versions of LEADTOOLS, a value of 0 was used for these members to instruct the toolkit to load the documents using the current screen resolution. This proved to be not an optimal solution since the result document will almost always be loaded using a small resolution (such as 96 DPI) that is unsuitable for detailed viewing or OCRing. The new default of 150 by 150 DPI results in documents loaded at a higher detailed resolution. |
FILEPDFOPTIONS.nDisplayDepth |
24 |
0 |
In previous versions of LEADTOOLS, PDF documents were rasterized at 24 BPP by default regardless of the number of colors in the original document. The new default value of 0 instructs LEADTOOLS to auto-detect the best bits/pixel value to use when loading a PDF file, hence, a black/white PDF file will be loaded at 1BPP by default resulting in a much less memory being used. |
