Class OcrResult.Table

Represents a Visual Table with Borders discovered during OCR.
To enable table reading, set IronTesseract's Configuration.ReadDataTables to true.

 var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
 Ocr.Configuration.ReadDataTables = true;

Syntax
public class Table : OcrResult.OcrResultTextElement

When OCR detects a grid of cells on a page, OcrResult.Table is how you read it back as structured data rather than loose text. Each table is a grouping of lines the engine recognized as tabular, exposed in a form you can load straight into a System.Data.DataTable.

Tables come from a page: OcrResult.Page.Tables returns an array of Table, one per detected grid. Each table derives from OcrResult.OcrResultTextElement, so the shared Text, Confidence, and BoundingBox members describe the table region as a whole, while the table-specific members give you the cell contents and geometry.

The headline member is DataTable, the recognized contents as a System.Data.DataTable ready to bind, export, or query. For placement, GetLocation returns the bounding Rectangle on the page, and X, Y, Width, and Height give the same box as individual pixel values for the top-left corner and size. Read DataTable when you want the data and the location members when you need to crop, highlight, or position the table on the original image.

The read tables in a document how-to works a detected table into a DataTable, and the read table example shows the full read.
