- upload the results to PCTB
To run it, change to this directory, type `make', and then:
- ./ypp-commodities --upload
+ ./ypp-commodities
to upload to the PCTB server. Currently we use pctb.ilk.org,
the testing instance of the PCTB database, pending approval from the
operators of the main server.
Options to vary the processing:
--single-page One screenful, no paging - results will be incomplete
--quiet Suppress progress messages
- --screenshot-file F Store or read screenshots in F rather than #pages#.pnm
+ --screenshot-file F Store or read screenshots in F rather than _pages.ppm
--window-id ID Specified X window is the YPP client - do not search
--edit-charset Enable character set editing. See README.dictionary.
- --no-edit-charset Do not edit charset even if #local-char*#.txt exists.
+ --no-edit-charset Do not edit charset even if _local-char*.txt exists.
--find-island Find and print the ocean and island. Suppresses OCR
and output unless used with result processing option.
--test-servers Set default servers to be the test servers, not
Installation requirements

+Your X server must be 24bpp (or better).

This program has quite a few dependencies:
Package (Debian etch)
If you need to report a bug, for example an inability to recognise,
please be sure to remember the exact error message and circumstances.
Also, for recognition problems there will probably be a very useful
-screenshot file called `#pages#.pnm'. This is likely to be very large
+screenshot file called `_pages.ppm'. This is likely to be very large
so don't just email it to me, but if you can put it up on a webpage
for me to download that will help. At least keep a copy of it.
display and is reproducible, try running:
./ypp-commodities --raw-tsv --single-page
If this reproduces the problem, please email me the screenshot file
-#pages#.pnm, which will consist only of the single screen, plus the
+_pages.ppm, which will consist only of the single screen, plus the
error messasge. I'll then be able to understand what's wrong,
hopefully.
