Separator hypothesis

Properties of a Separator hypothesis — Orientation, Relative length, Space length, and Orthogonal shift in an Extraction Rules activity.

When a hypothesis is formulated, only those Separator objects that have been detected during pre-recognition are considered.

Separator hypothesis properties

A formulated Separator hypothesis has the following type-specific properties (in addition to the general ones):

Property	Description
Orientation	Specifies the orientation of the detected separator.
Relative length	Specifies the relative length of the detected separator.
Space length	Specifies the absolute length of the space character inside the detected separator.
Relative space length	Specifies the relative length of the space character inside the detected separator.
Orthogonal shift	Specifies the distance between separators (in the direction perpendicular to their orientation) in the hypothesis.
