GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPictureOCR Class / GetWordBottom Method
The unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the RunOCR method.
The 0-based index of the word within the specified OCR result. It must be a value between 0 and GetWordCount(OCRResultID) - 1.
Example





In This Topic
GetWordBottom Method (GdPictureOCR)
In This Topic
Returns the bottom y-coordinate of the bounding box of the specified word, that is a part of a specified OCR result.

This method uses a coordinate system, where the origin is in the top-left corner of the processed image and the units are pixels.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetWordBottom( _
   ByVal OCRResultID As String, _
   ByVal WordIdx As Integer _
) As Integer
public int GetWordBottom( 
   string OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
)
public function GetWordBottom( 
    OCRResultID: String;
    WordIdx: Integer
): Integer; 
public function GetWordBottom( 
   OCRResultID : String,
   WordIdx : int
) : int;
public: int GetWordBottom( 
   string* OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
) 
public:
int GetWordBottom( 
   String^ OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
) 

Parameters

OCRResultID
The unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the RunOCR method.
WordIdx
The 0-based index of the word within the specified OCR result. It must be a value between 0 and GetWordCount(OCRResultID) - 1.

Return Value

The bottom y-coordinate of the word's bounding box, in pixels.

Please always use the GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Please note, that the origin of the used coordinate system is in the top-left corner of the processed image and the used units are pixels.
