KeyView 24.1

# Enumerations

The following enumerations are defined in the C++ SDK.

Enumeration | Description
--- | ---
`Encoding` | An enumeration of character encodings. SeeCoded Character Sets for more information.
`Category` | File type categories (such as word processor or spreadsheet). These are listed in File Classes.
`Format` | File formats (e.g. Word, Excel, PDF etc.). These are listed in Supported Formats.
`LogicalPDFDirection` | This enumeration is used to specify paragraph ordering when filtering a PDF.
`MetadataValueType` | A list of the possible value types for metadata items.
`MetadataKey` | The standard keys that KeyView can use for metadata field standardization.
`OCROrientation` | The options for detecting rotated text during OCR.
`OCRTextFindingMode` | The algorithms for finding text during OCR.
`OCRDetectAlphabet` | The options for alphabet detection during OCR.
`SubFile::Type` | This enumeration lists the possible categories of subfiles.
`SummaryInfoType` | This enumeration is a return type from the `SummaryInfoItem` class.

## LogicalPDFDirection

The following table lists the values of the `LogicalPDFDirection` enumeration.

Value | Description
--- | ---
`raw` | Unstructured paragraph flow. This is the default behavior.
`ltr` | Paragraphs are output from left to right.
`rtl` | Paragraphs are ouput from right to left. This is most useful for languages with a right-to-left reading order.
`automatic` | The PDF reader determines the paragraph direction for each PDF page, and then sets the direction accordingly.

## MetadataValueType

A list of the possible value types for metadata items. A value from this enumeration is returned from the function value_type().

Value | Description
--- | ---
`Bool` | A Boolean.
`Int64` | A 64-bit integer.
`Double` | A double.
`DateTime` | Absolute date/time value, as an integral number of epoch seconds.
`TargetEncodingString` | A string presented in your configured target encoding.
`Binary` | Binary data.
`MIPLabel` | Microsoft Information Protection sensitivity label (MIPLabel) type. See The MIPLabel Class.

## MetadataKey

This enumerated type defines the standard keys that KeyView can use for metadata field standardization. The values from this enumeration are returned by the standard_key method of a MetadataElement. The value `MetadataKey::Other` indicates that a metadata element does not represent a standardized field. This enumeration is defined in `Keyview_Metadata.hpp`. For a list of the standard metadata keys, see Standardized Metadata Fields.

## OCROrientation

The following table lists the values of the `OCROrientation` enumeration.

Value | Description
--- | ---
`Upright` | OCR only attempts to detect text that is upright.
`Any` | OCR attempts to detect text that is upright, or rotated in 90-degree increments from upright.

## OCRTextFindingMode

The following table lists the values of the `OCRTextFindingMode` enumeration.

Value | Description
--- | ---
`Document` | A scanned or printed page of formatted text, such as a report, magazine, or letter.
`Scene` | An image of a general scene that contains text, such as a photograph or TV footage.
`Hollow` | A scene image containing outlined text, such as white characters with a black border which are often used in television subtitles.
`Auto` | The IDOL OCR library selects the algorithm automatically.

## OCRDetectAlphabet

The following table lists the values of the `OCRDetectAlphabet` enumeration.

Value | Description
--- | ---
`Off` | OCR does not detect the alphabet.
`Listed` | OCR detects the alphabet, but only considers alphabets that are represented in your chosen list of languages.
`All` | OCR detects the alphabet that is used, and considers all alphabets.

## SubFile::Type

The following table lists the values of the `SubFile::Type` enumeration.

Value | Description
--- | ---
`Main` | The subfile is at the top level of the main file. This is the default subfile type.
`Attachment` | The subfile is an attachment in a file.
`OLE` | The subfile is an embedded OLE object in a compound document.
`Folder` | The subfile is a folder or the artificial root node.
`Uncategorised_Image` | An embedded image that has not been categorized by the reader.
`Embedded_Image` | An embedded image.
`Embedded_Icon` | An icon used to represent an embedded file.
`Embedded_Content` | An image used to represent content for an embedded file. This could be an preview image of the actual content, or another representation such as an icon.
`Embedded_Preview` | A preview of an embedded file. This is usually an image that shows part of the embedded file.
`XrML` | The subfile contains the XrML that describes the RMS protection used on an RMS-encrypted main file.

NOTE: The enumeration `SubFile::Type` is a scoped enumeration, as well as being a member of class `Subfile`. Therefore, you must always refer to the values by using a full qualification. For example:

    if(subfile.type() == SubFile::Type::Folder)

NOT

    if(subfile.type() == Folder)

## SummaryInfoType

DEPRECATED: The `SummaryInfoType` enumeration is deprecated in KeyView 23.2.0 and later.

The `SummaryInfoType` enumeration has the following values:

`Bool`
`Int`
`Double`
`TargetEncodingString`
`Utf8String`
`DateTime`

NOTE: The enumerator names for `SummaryInfoType` are generic, so `SummaryInfoType` is a scoped enumeration; that is, you must always refer to the values by using a qualification with the enumeration name. For example:

    if(item.type() == SummaryInfoType::Double)

NOT

    if(item.type() == Double)
