Text/Content Select Option is possible in the QGraphicsView

[Nanthini]

I have a list of images in the list widget. When I click an item in the list widget, it will be displayed in the graphics view. Now, I need to be able to select content within the displayed image. How can I achieve this in the graphics view?

Hi,

That's a bit vague of a description. What exactly do you want to select on that image ? What do you want to do with it ?

[Nanthini]

I want to select the text in an image, similar to Adobe. How can I implement this in QT with Graphics View?

@Nanthini said in Text/Content Select Option is possible in the QGraphicsView:

I want to select the text in an image

Do you want to do text recognition (optical character recognition)?

@jsulm, can I achieve OCR with formatted structure in the graphics view?

I attempted Tesseract OCR, and while it converted my image to string format, it did not maintain the desired formatting. The image contains tables and borders, so I require an exact formatted conversion.

@Nanthini You can't do that with Qt, you will have to use some third party library, there are some open source products available.

[Nanthini]

how can I achieve this using Python libraries with QT?"

[jsulm]

@Nanthini I don't know, search for OCR libraries for Python.

@jsulm... Thanks for your valuable time.
