Element

Roughly equivalent to a space-separated "word" in most Latin languages, or a character in others. For instance, if a word is split between two lines by a hyphen, each part is encoded as a separate Element.

Public Methods

public Rect getBoundingBox ()

Axis-aligned bounding box containing the text. The bounding box may extend past the image boundary.

public List<? extends Text> getComponents ()

This class is the bottom of the tree, so this function always returns an empty list as it has no components.

public Point[] getCornerPoints ()

Four corner points in clockwise direction starting with top-left. Due to the possible perspective distortions, this is not necessarily a rectangle. Parts of the region could be outside of the image.

public String getLanguage ()

Prevailing language in the text, if any. The format is in BCP47 (e.g. "en" or "sr-Latn-BA") or "und" if the language could not be determined.

public String getValue ()

Retrieve the recognized text as a string. Returned in reading order for the language. For Latin, this is top to bottom within a TextBlock, and left-to-right within Lines.
