GetCharacterCount Method (GdPictureSegmenter)

In This Topic
Returns the number of characters within the segmentation result specified by its index.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetCharacterCount( _
   ByVal SegmentationResultID As String _
) As Integer
public int GetCharacterCount( 
   string SegmentationResultID
)
public function GetCharacterCount( 
    SegmentationResultID: String
): Integer; 
public function GetCharacterCount( 
   SegmentationResultID : String
) : int;
public: int GetCharacterCount( 
   string* SegmentationResultID
) 
public:
int GetCharacterCount( 
   String^ SegmentationResultID
)

Parameters

SegmentationResultID
The unique result identifier of the executed segmentation process obtained by the RunSegmentation method.

Return Value

The number of detected characters. Please always use the GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.
