Implementations

impl WordExtractor

pub fn extract(chars: &[Char], options: &WordOptions) -> Vec<Word>

Extract words from the given characters using the specified options.

Characters are grouped into words based on spatial proximity:

• Characters within x_tolerance horizontally and y_tolerance vertically are grouped together.
• For CJK characters, character width (or height for vertical text) is used as the tolerance instead of the fixed x_tolerance/y_tolerance.
• By default, whitespace characters split words. Set keep_blank_chars to include them.
• By default, characters are sorted spatially. Set use_text_flow to preserve PDF content stream order.
• text_direction controls sorting and gap logic for vertical text.
