IsEngineFormatSupported Method

Summary
Gets a value indicating whether the specified engine native format is supported by this IOcrEngine.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public bool IsEngineFormatSupported( 
   string formatName 
) 
public boolean isEngineFormatSupported(String formatName) 
bool IsEngineFormatSupported(  
   String^ formatName 
)  
def IsEngineFormatSupported(self,formatName): 

Parameters

formatName
The name of the engine native format to check.

Return Value

true if  formatName is supported by this IOcrEngine, otherwise it is false.

Remarks

Note that the LEADTOOLS default installation does not ship with native engine format support. You must download and install the "OCR Additional Features" setup available at https://www.leadtools.com to add this feature. To get a list of the engine native formats available but not installed for the current OCR engine, use GetAdditionalEngineFormats.

For more information on the various document formats supported by LEADTOOLS refer to DocumentFormat.

Use the GetSupportedEngineFormats method in OcrEngineType.LEAD to get a list of names of the supported native formats. If the native format is supported, a native format can be used to save it, instead of using the save mechanism of the LEADTOOLS Document Writers.

To get the file extension for a specific engine native format, use GetEngineFormatFileExtension.

To get a friendly name for a specific engine native format, use GetEngineFormatFriendlyName.
