* This set of interfaces offers the OCR engine which supports Layout Analysis

*
* For Example:
* After passing the image handle to LayoutAnalysisL, the MOCREngineObserver::LayoutComplete
* will be called after the process. Then through the TOCRBlockInfo array (const TOCRBlockInfo* aBlock
* and const TInt aBlockCount), the user knows how many blocks have been identified
* together with their position information. Those blocks are marked with ids from Zero to
* aBlockCount - 1.
*
* Then the user must specify which blocks are going to be further processed (Note that layout analysis
* only gets you the position of those blocks, but does not recognize the characters inside each block).
* The const RArray<TInt>& aBlock in MOCREngineLayoutRecognize::RecognizeL saves all the ids that are
* selected to be further processed. e.g. if you have 10 blocks from LayoutComplete, you can append
* 1, 3, 5, 7 to the TInt array and pass it to RecognizeL
