# VectorPictureBlock Object (IVectorPictureBlock Interface)

The object represents a vector picture block. The IVectorPictureBlock interface is derived from the [IBlock](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/layout-related-objects/block) interface and inherits all its properties. This object does not provide any specific properties or methods for working with a vector picture block.

Blocks of this type may appear in the layout only if a page has been analyzed with the [IPageAnalysisParams::DetectVectorGraphics](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/preprocessing-analysis-recognition-and-synthesis-parameters/pageanalysisparams#detectvectorgraphics) property set to TRUE.

## Methods
