Public Function GetTextLineParagraphIndex( _
   ByVal OCRResultID As String, _
   ByVal TextLineIdx As Integer _
) As Integer

public int GetTextLineParagraphIndex( 
   string OCRResultID,
   int TextLineIdx
)

public function GetTextLineParagraphIndex( 
    OCRResultID: String;
    TextLineIdx: Integer
): Integer;

public function GetTextLineParagraphIndex( 
   OCRResultID : String,
   TextLineIdx : int
) : int;

public: int GetTextLineParagraphIndex( 
   string* OCRResultID,
   int TextLineIdx
)

public:
int GetTextLineParagraphIndex( 
   String^ OCRResultID,
   int TextLineIdx
)

Parameters

OCRResultID: The unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the GdPictureOCR.RunOCR method.
TextLineIdx: The 0-based index of the text line within the specified OCR result. It must be a value between 0 and GdPictureOCR.GetTextLineCount(OCRResultID) - 1.

Return Value

The index of the paragraph, which involves the required text line. Please always use the GdPictureOCR.GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.

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

How to determine, which text line belongs to which paragraph in the OCR result.
