SmoothCommand Class

Summary

Smoothes the bumps and fills in the nicks of a 1-bit black and white image. This command is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class SmoothCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class SmoothCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTSmoothCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class SmoothCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class SmoothCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

This command smoothes the text in scanned text documents. The behavior of this command can be modified by using an Event Handler that handles the SmoothCommandEventArgs. This command works only on 1-bit black and white images.
This command works only on 1-bit black and white images.
If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this command. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.
This command does not support signed data images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

For more information, refer to Cleaning Up 1-Bit Images.
