tessedit_create_boxfile condensed like boxaGetBox

[Baris Unsal]

Hi, when I pass tessedit_create_boxfile 1 argument to tesseract it outputs individual chars' location. But when I use api like this:

```

Boxa* boxes = api->GetComponentImages(tesseract::RIL_TEXTLINE, true,NULL,NULL);
for(int i = 0; i < boxes->n; i++){
BOX* box =boxaGetBox(boxes,i,L_CLONE);
api->SetRectangle(box->x,box->y,box->w,box->h);
char* outText = api->GetUTF8Text();
int conf = api->MeanTextConf();
fprintf(stdout,"Box[%d]: x=%d, y=%d, w=%d, h=%d, confidence: %d, text: %s",
i, box->x, box->y, box->w, box->h, conf, outText);
boxDestroy(&box);
delete[] outText;
}

```

it outputs whole line like this:

Box[1]: x=36, y=84, w=246, h=14, confidence: 44, text: #Spor #siyaset Fanket FIliskiler

Is there any way to combine individual boxes to print like API? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

it is unclear for what do you do/want to do:

• you wrote want individual chars, but request from API line (RIL_TEXTLINE)
• then you wrote " Is there any way to combine individual boxes to print like API" so what do you want to combine?

Maybe it would be better if you provide input images and desired output...

I think it would need to operate at RIL_SYMBOL level, not RIL_TEXTLINE.

[Baris Unsal]

I want the opposite way. Getting ril_textline like output from passing argument to tesseract.

[Zdenko Podobny]

Use tsv output but you will still need to parse it to get line information.
