Get value of a counter












2















Consider this code:



documentclass{report}

newcounter{counterA}

newcounter{counterB}

begin{document}

...

setcounter{counterA}{2}

setcounter{counterB}{3}

addtocounter{counterB}{counterA}

end{document}


When I compile I get the following error:



! Missing number, treated as zero.

<to be read again> 

                   c

l.8 addtocounter{counterB}{counterA}


How to add the value in counterA to counterB?

    In case that this is related to your page counter problem: due to the asynchronic page building of tex, the page counter is often not reliable in the text body.

You can access the value of a counter for arithmetic or other situations where LaTeX expects a number with value{<countername>}, so



addtocounter{counterB}{value{counterA}}


should be what you are looking for.



You would use the<countername> to print (a representation of) the value. 



thecounterB


Gives




5




in the example.



In rare situations or when you define the<countername> you may have to use



arabic{<countername>}

roman{<countername>}

Roman{<countername>}

alph{<countername>}

Alph{<countername>}


to force a particular printed representation.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.
