Block Selection in Document Analyzer

[Ram Mohan Yaratapally <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am very novice to the UIMA and I have question on Document Analyzer.

Is it possible to highlight a rectangular region of text which have
co-ordinates x0, y0, x1, y1 which might span multiple lines (y0-y1) but
x0-x1 denotes only part of the text whole line text?

You answer is very much appretiated.

Thanks and Regards
Ram Mohan

The Document Analyzer only support visualization of the
build in annotation type, which is defined by a span (start end, end 
character offset).

But you can define a rectangular feature structure type in uima
and write a custom tool which can visualize them for you.

Hope that helps,
