Utility functions for reading [PageXML](https://www.primaresearch.org/tools/PAGELibraries) files
## installing
### using poetry
```commandline
poetry add pagexml-tools
```
### using pip
```commandline
pip install pagexml-tools
```
## Using
PageXML-tools contains functions for parsing and for a range of analysis tasks.
### Parsing PageXML files and the Physical Document model
There is a tutorial that demonstrates the [physical document model API](./notebooks/Demo-understanding-the-document-model.ipynb)
PageXML-tools contains basic functionality for parsing a PageXML file that returns
a document model representing the content of the file. The HTR/OCR process that generates
PageXML, recognises text in an image of a physical document.
```python
from pagexml.parser import parse_pagexml_file
pagexml_file = "path/to/pagexml_file.xml"
page_doc = parse_pagexml_file(pagexml_file)
# a page document has an ID
print(page_doc.id)
# print descriptive statistics
print(page_doc.stats)
# iterative over text regions and lines
for tr in page_doc.text_regions:
# a text_region has an ID and a bounding box derived from its coordinates
print(tr.id, tr.coords.box)
# a text_region can have sub-text_regions and lines
for line in tr.lines:
# a line has an ID, coordinates and text
print(line.id, line.coords.box, line.text)
```
###
In addition to the basic parsing and handling of PageXML output, there is
functionality to support a range of tasks:
- reading sets of PageXML files from a archive (tar, zip) file ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-reading-pagexml-files-from-archive.ipynb)),
- searching in text ([keyword in context](./notebooks/Demo-text-search-simple.ipynb), [keywords or fuzzy search](./notebooks/Demo-text-search-in-pagexml-archive.ipynb))
- classifying physical document types in a large set of PageXML documents ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-analysing-scan-characteristics.ipynb)),
- checking the quality of the HTR/OCR process ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-analysing-scan-characteristics-checking-quality.ipynb)),
- comparing subsets ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-analysing-scan-characteristics-comparing-subsets.ipynb)),
- identifying document sections in sequences of PageXML documents ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-analysing-scan-characteristics-book-sections.ipynb)),
- turning text lines into running text ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-from-lines-to-running-text.ipynb)),
- supporting different reading orders ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-sorting.ipynb)),
- reinterpreting and restructuring text regions and lines ([tutorial](./notebooks/Demo-restructuring-documents.ipynb)),
- turning physical structure into logical structure,
