The AT_REC_ZONE structure contains all the necessary information for describing a zone. A zone is a rectangular or "pizza box" shaped area on an image, but AT_REC_ZONE contains only its bounding box. It contains a feature of interest to the user. The image data covered by each zone is handled and processed (typically recognized) separately. A very first classification of the zones is their type: whether a zone's area is to be recognized or it should be treated as graphic. Zones containing textual information can be either flowed type or table type zones. This basic classification of zones helps the Engine to handle the textual information correctly. Zones are always associated with a enumIGRecFillingMethod filling method and one of the available enumIGRecRecognitionModule recognition modules. These determine what kind of recognition algorithm will be applied to the zone during its processing. For possible RM-FM pairs see documentation for enumIGRecRecognitionModule. Zones in a page are built into a sequential list, called the zone list. Each zone receives an internal index number, reflecting its position in this list. In some cases this zone order even determines the zone content order in the final output document. The index of the first zone in the zone list is zero (0).
