| `Void MaxRelativeGapInLine( Real )`          | The maximum distance between neighboring characters expressed as a percentage of the line height.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `Void AllowedTextRotations( TextRotations )` | Specifies a set of orientations of the recognized text in which an element search is allowed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
