TextOrientation Object (ITextOrientation Interface)

TextOrientation object (ITextOrientation interface) in the ABBYY FineReader Engine API — Represents text orientation relative to the normal reading position (ReadingType and RotationType properties).

This object represents the position of a text relative to the normal reading position.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
Application	Engine, read-only	Returns the Engine object.
ReadingType	ReadingTypeEnum	Specifies if the text on the page is written in horizontal lines, or vertical lines. This property is TRT\_Unknown by default.
RotationType	RotationTypeEnum	Specifies the orientation of a text on a page relative to the normal reading position of the page. This property is RT\_NoRotation by default, which means that the orientation is normal.

Methods

Name	Description
CopyFrom	Initializes properties of the current object with values of similar properties of another object.
IsEqualTo	Checks if the text orientation is equal to the specified orientation.

Samples

C# code

FREngine.IFRDocument frdoc;
// Get orientation for every page
int pagesCount = frDoc.Pages.Count;
FREngine.RotationTypeEnum[] rotations = new FREngine.RotationTypeEnum[pagesCount];
for (int i = 0; i < pagesCount; i++)
{
 FREngine.IFRPage page = frDoc.Pages[i];
 FREngine.ITextOrientation ori = page.DetectOrientation(null, ppp.ObjectsExtractionParams, ppp.RecognizerParams);
 rotations[i] = FREngine.RotationTypeEnum.RT_UnknownRotation;
 if( ori != null ) {
  rotations[i] = ori.RotationType;
 }
}
