Remarks

This class is the LEADTOOLS implementation of the IMasterForm interface for Master Forms stored on the local disk. You can create your own custom implementation if your storage requirements are different.

The source code for this interface implementation class is available at <INSTALLDIR>\Examples\Forms\DotNet\AutoMasterFormsRepository.

A DiskMasterForm is a group of files containing the information needed to recognize and process a form on the local disk. Each directory can have a Master.

Each Master Form has three files (one mandatory and two optional). The mandatory file is the attributes file stored using the Master Form's filename with a ".bin" extension. The first optional file is a Processing fields file, needed when the Master Form has fields to be processed. It is stored using the Master Form's filename with an ".xml" extension. The second optional file is the image file. It is stored using the Master Form's filename with a ".tif" extension. Images are usually stored as 1-bit black and white images.
