Für eine hochwertige Schriftfamilie musste man schon immer tief in die Tasche greifen. Die Preisspanne für renommierte Schnitte wie Helvetica, Frutiger oder Avenir startet etwa bei 20-25 € pro Schnitt oder 400-500 € pro Familie. Nicht zu Unrecht, denn eine glasklare typografische Darstellung ist mit einem hohen Arbeitsaufwand verbunden, der sich häufig in monate- oder jahrelanger Arbeit widerspiegelt.
hOCR is a format for representing OCR output, including layout information, character confidences, bounding boxes, and style information. It embeds this information invisibly in standard HTML. By building on standard HTML, it automatically inherits well-defined support for most scripts, languages, and common layout options. Furthermore, unlike previous OCR formats, the recognized text and OCR-related information co-exist in the same file and survives editing and manipulation. hOCR markup is independent of the presentation.
Large quantities of historical newspapers are being digitized and OCRd. We describe a framework for processing the OCRd text to identify articles and extract metadata for them. We describe the article schema and provide examples of features that facilitate automatic indexing of them. For this processing, we employ lexical semantics, structural models, and community content. Furthermore, we describe visualization and summarization techniques that can be used to present the extracted events.
For Java developers writing GUI layouts by hand that wants simplicity, power and automatic per platform fidelity, that are dissatisfied with the current layout managers in Swing and SWT, MiGLayout solves all your layout problems. Unlike JGoodies' FormLayout and Clearthought's TableLayout - MiGLayout solves all your layouts with equal ease in a way that is easy to change and maintain. You will understand how the layout will look like when looking at the code.
MiGLayout is the most versatile and flexible Swing and SWT Layout Manager for Java, yet it is very easy to learn and use. It is using String or API type-checked constraints to format the layout. MiGLayout can produce flowing, grid based, absolute (with links), grouped and docking layouts. You will never have to switch to another layout manager ever again! MiGLayout is created to be to manually coded layouts what Matisse/GroupLayout is to IDE supported visual layouts.
