Research direction

Start by reproducing the result with the linked CFTC PDF and inspect the generated Pages.HLines, VLines, and Fills fields. The issue names no source file, test, or module; done should establish which module handles line detection and whether the reported horizontal lines are represented correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Dear all,
I like to know how to detect the hLines correctly.

  • Which module does it?
  • How to improve it?

See the picture: No HLine deteced.

The Fille might be seen as kind of but why is it so difficult to see the lines?
Thank You all for Your contributions!
