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.

Example

Run the SmoothCommand on an image.

   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs();

   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "clean.tif")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   SmoothCommand command = new SmoothCommand(); 
   command.Smooth += new EventHandler<SmoothCommandEventArgs>(SmoothEventExample_S1); 
   command.Flags = SmoothCommandFlags.FavorLong; 
   command.Length = 2; 
 
   command.Run(image); 
 
}
