IG_REC_decomp_single_column_force

Specifies the Force Single Column mode for the page-layout (auto-zoning) process.

Declaration:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_REC_decomp_single_column_force_set( AT_BOOL bForceSingle );

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
bForceSingle	AT_BOOL	Force Single Column mode to be set (default is FALSE).

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Example:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ErrCount = 0; ErrCount = IG_REC_decomp_single_column_force_set(TRUE);

Remarks:

It prevents the "de-columnization" (detecting columns and placing their contents one below the other), and is useful for preserving the columnar structure in tables.

It is highly recommended that you use this sparingly: only for cases where the image has a single tabular structure and chances are that the automatic decomposition would fail to analyze the layout properly. Its effects are applied to whole pages.
