Where does ElementProperties live in the IronOCR API?

ElementProperties is a value-type struct in the DynamicTesseract namespace, shipped in IronOcr.dll. It derives from ValueType and is returned by the interop layer's layout analysis rather than constructed in everyday code.

What does ElementProperties tell you about a page element in C#?

It reports the region's Orientation, its TextLineOrder, its WritingDirection, and a DeskewAngle Single for the fine tilt. Together these describe how the element is rotated and laid out so code can deskew or reorder it correctly.

Class ElementProperties

Inheritance

System.Object

ElementProperties

Namespace: DynamicTesseract

Assembly: IronOcr.dll

Syntax

public sealed class ElementProperties : ValueType

When low-level code needs the layout orientation of a recognized page element, ElementProperties carries it. The value groups the geometric facts Tesseract reports about a region, the rotation it sits at, the order its text lines run in, and the direction the script is written, into one struct the interop layer hands back during analysis.

Four members describe the element. Orientation gives the rotation of the region as an Orientation value, TextLineOrder reports how its lines are stacked as a TextLineOrder value, and WritingDirection reports left-to-right or right-to-left as a WritingDirection value. DeskewAngle is a Single holding the fine skew angle, the small tilt to correct after the coarse orientation is known. The constructor takes all four in that order. Being a value type, an ElementProperties is copied by value and read after layout analysis to decide how to deskew or reorder a region. This sits in the DynamicTesseract interop layer; for ordinary page-rotation handling, IronOCR's high-level orientation features are the simpler path.

The detect page rotation how-to reads orientation at the IronOCR level, and the orientation correction how-to straightens a skewed image.
