## Introduction

This repository contains the python packages that form the base for tools within the
[OCR-D ecosphere](https://github.com/topics/ocr-d).

All packages are also published to [PyPI](https://pypi.org/search/?q=ocrd).

## Installation

**NOTE** Unless you want to contribute to OCR-D/core, we recommend installation
as part of [ocrd_all](https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd_all) which installs a
complete stack of OCR-D-related software.

The easiest way to install is via `pip`:

```sh
pip install ocrd

# or just the functionality you need, e.g.

pip install ocrd_modelfactory
```

All Python software released by [OCR-D](https://github.com/OCR-D) requires Python 3.8 or higher.

**NOTE** Some OCR-D-Tools (or even test cases) _might_ reveal an unintended behavior if you have specific environment modifications, like:
* using a custom build of [ImageMagick](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick), whose format delegates are different from what OCR-D supposes
* custom Python logging configurations in your personal account

## Command line tools

**NOTE:** All OCR-D CLI tools support a `--help` flag which shows usage and
supported flags, options and arguments.

### `ocrd` CLI

* [CLI usage](https://ocr-d.de/core/api/ocrd/ocrd.cli.html)
* [Introduction to `ocrd workspace`](https://github.com/OCR-D/ocrd-website/wiki/Intro-ocrd-workspace-CLI)
* [OCR-D user guide](https://ocr-d.de/en/use)

### `ocrd-dummy` CLI

A minimal [OCR-D processor](https://ocr-d.de/en/user_guide#using-the-ocr-d-processors) that copies from `-I/-input-file-grp` to `-O/-output-file-grp`

## Configuration

Almost all behaviour of the OCR-D/core software is configured via CLI options and flags, which can be listed with the `--help` flag that all CLI support.

Some parts of the software are configured via environment variables:

* `OCRD_METS_CACHING`: If set to `true`, access to the METS file is cached, speeding in-memory search and modification.
* `OCRD_PROFILE`: This variable configures the built-in CPU and memory profiling. If empty, no profiling is done. Otherwise expected to contain any of the following tokens:
  * `CPU`: Enable CPU profiling of processor runs
  * `RSS`: Enable RSS memory profiling
  * `PSS`: Enable proportionate memory profiling
* `OCRD_PROFILE_FILE`: If set, then the CPU profile is written to this file for later peruse with a analysis tools like [snakeviz](https://jiffyclub.github.io/snakeviz/)

* `PATH`: Search path for processor executables (affects `ocrd process` and `ocrd resmgr`).
* `HOME`: Directory to look for `ocrd_logging.conf`, fallback for unset XDG variables (see below).

* `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`: Directory to look for `./ocrd/resources.yml` (i.e. `ocrd resmgr` user database) – defaults to `$HOME/.config`.
* `XDG_DATA_HOME`: Directory to look for `./ocrd-resources/*` (i.e. `ocrd resmgr` data location) – defaults to `$HOME/.local/share`.

* `OCRD_DOWNLOAD_RETRIES`: Number of times to retry failed attempts for downloads of workspace files.
* `OCRD_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT`: Timeout in seconds for connecting or reading (comma-separated) when downloading.

* `OCRD_METS_CACHING`: Whether to enable in-memory storage of OcrdMets data structures for speedup during processing or workspace operations.

* `OCRD_MAX_PROCESSOR_CACHE`: Maximum number of processor instances (for each set of parameters) to be kept in memory (including loaded models) for processing workers or processor servers.

* `OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_PROCESSING`: Default address of Processing Server to connect to (for `ocrd network client processing`).
* `OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_WORKFLOW`: Default address of Workflow Server to connect to (for `ocrd network client workflow`).
* `OCRD_NETWORK_SERVER_ADDR_WORKSPACE`: Default address of Workspace Server to connect to (for `ocrd network client workspace`).
* `OCRD_NETWORK_RABBITMQ_CLIENT_CONNECT_ATTEMPTS`: Number of attempts for a worker to create its queue. Helpful if the rabbitmq-server needs time to be fully started.


## Packages

### ocrd_utils

Contains utilities and constants, e.g. for logging, path normalization, coordinate calculation etc.

See [README for `ocrd_utils`](./README_ocrd_utils.md) for further information.

### ocrd_models

Contains file format wrappers for PAGE-XML, METS, EXIF metadata etc.

See [README for `ocrd_models`](./README_ocrd_models.md) for further information.

### ocrd_modelfactory

Code to instantiate [models](#ocrd-models) from existing data.

See [README for `ocrd_modelfactory`](./README_ocrd_modelfactory.md) for further information.

### ocrd_validators

Schemas and routines for validating BagIt, `ocrd-tool.json`, workspaces, METS, page, CLI parameters etc.

See [README for `ocrd_validators`](./README_ocrd_validators.md) for further information.

### ocrd_network

Components related to OCR-D Web API

See [README for `ocrd_network`](./README_ocrd_network.md) for further information.

### ocrd

Depends on all of the above, also contains decorators and classes for creating OCR-D processors and CLIs.

Also contains the command line tool `ocrd`.

See [README for `ocrd`](./README_ocrd.md) for further information.

## bash library

Builds a bash script that can be sourced by other bash scripts to create OCRD-compliant CLI.

See [README for `bashlib`](./README_bashlib.md) for further information.

## Testing

Download assets (`make assets`)

Test with local files: `make test`

- Test with remote assets:
  - `make test OCRD_BASEURL='https://github.com/OCR-D/assets/raw/master/data/'`
