InftyLayoutViewer Help
----------------------

1. To use LayoutViewer:

  - Suppose that you selected "sample.tif" as input file.
  - Please set check on "Layout Information(LIF)" in the 
    "Output File Format" selection frame, and run the 
    recognition pressing the button "Start OCR".
  - Then, a file "sample.lif" will be generated in the same
    folder as the original image file "sample.tif", and 
    InftyLayoutViewer will pop up showing the layout analysis
    result by InftyReader.

  - If you have already *.lif files, you can run "InftyLayoutViewer" 
    selecting the menu "Tool" - "LayoutViewer" of InftyReader.

  - After checking and correcting the area segmentation (see below),
    the "lif" is updated by pressing the "save" button in the tool 
    bat or pressing "save" under the FILE menu.

  - To use the edited "lif" file in the recognition, please set check
    to the "Use Layout Inftormation FILE(LIF)" or to the "Use Math Area
    Information in LIF" on the main dailog of InftyReader and run the
    recognition pressing the "Start OCR" button.
    Please note that the LIF file name should be the same as output 
    file name except for the extension, and put it in the same folder 
    as the image files to be recognized.
