# FieldMarkingTypeEnum

FieldMarkingTypeEnum enumeration constants describe available types of field marking.

<Note>
  The number of character cells for a recognized block you can set with help of the [IRecognizerParams::CellsCount](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/preprocessing-analysis-recognition-and-synthesis-parameters/recognizerparams#cellscount) property.
</Note>

```
typedef enum {
 FMT_SimpleText,

 FMT_TextInFrame,
 FMT_GrayBoxes,
 FMT_CharBoxSeries,
 FMT_SimpleComb,
 FMT_CombInFrame,
 FMT_PartitionedFrame
} FieldMarkingTypeEnum;
