IIXC_Page Darkness

[jeffp]

Is there a property or procedure with IIXC_Page that will give me a "darkness" factions of sorts.

I have another image package that does this and it is defines as

"the fraction of an image that consists of "dark" pixels (i.e., pixels that would be black if the image was converted to B&W)"

I'm using this with a blank page detection option where I let the user determine a blank threshold and compare it against the page "darkness" to know whether do discard it or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jeff,

If I understood what you need correctly, then you can use the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vie ... ountColors property to get number of different colors that page has. If the color count is 1 then the page is blank. You can additionally look at the first pixel's color to see whether is is white (if you need this).

Cheers,
Alex

Let me try again. The image will already be a B&W image so ColorCount will be 2.

I'm looking for the fraction of a B&W image that contains dark pixels.
