Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public int LeadingSpaces { get; set; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSUInteger leadingSpaces; 
public int getLeadingSpaces() 
public void setLeadingSpaces(int value) 
public: 
property int LeadingSpaces { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
} 
LeadingSpaces # get and set (OcrCharacter) 

Property Value

The estimated number of leading spaces in front of the character.

Remarks

The confidence of the number of leading spaces in front of the character is expressed in a value of 0 (worst) to 100 (best) in the LeadingSpacesConfidence property.

To get the recognized characters of a page, call IOcrPage.GetRecognizedCharacters after IOcrPage.Recognize.

To update the recognized characters of a page, call IOcrPage.GetRecognizedCharacters before calling IOcrDocument.Save or IOcrDocument.SaveXml.
