I want to use a public function defined in the python script. This script contains multiple functions and I want to use one specific function. Next I want to check some visual output while importing this script and the function in jupyter notebook. I need some help with jupyter notebook. ( How to import and use this function in jupyter notebook ?)
Here is the function I want to use and check its output visually in jupyter notebook:
def merge_boxes_horizontally(boxes: Iterable[TextBox]) -> list[TextBoxCluster]:
"""
Merge boxes that belong to one line.
The algorithm does the following:
1. Sort boxes by x-coordinate.
2. Iterate through them and merge those that are close in x- and have
overlap in y-direction to clusters.
3. If the current box does not belong to a previously seen cluster,
start a new cluster from the box.
Parameters
----------
boxes
The boxes that shall be clustered.
Returns
-------
List[TextBoxCluster]
A list of the line segments that were found, sorted by y-coordinate.
"""
boxes_sorted = sorted(boxes, key=lambda box: box.left)
reference, *remainder = boxes_sorted
clusters: dict[TextBox, list[TextBox]] = {reference: [reference]}
for box in remainder:
is_matched = False
for reference, cluster in clusters.items():
if has_sufficient_y_overlap(reference, box):
*_, last_in_row = cluster
if in_x_proximity(last_in_row, box):
cluster.append(box)
is_matched = True
break
if not is_matched:
clusters[box] = [box]
return sorted(
(TextBoxCluster(cluster) for cluster in clusters.values()),
key=lambda box: box.top,
)
