what do the measurements of the document intelligence analyzedResult refer to?

Question

In the azure AnalizeResult object of a PDF there is an X and Y coordinated of a bounding polygon but I'm not sure what do the coordinates refer to I know they are in inches but what is (0,0) is it bottom left of top left ?
and could anyone refer me to the documentation of those measurements

thanks a lot in advance.

@Jumilla, Alejandro N Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!
.

In the Azure.AI.FormRecognizer.DocumentAnalysis.AnalyzeResult object, the bounding box coordinates refer to the positions of the corners of the bounding box around a recognized element in the document. The coordinates are given in the order: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left.
.

The origin (0,0) of the coordinate system is at the bottom-left of the page. This means that as you move rightwards or upwards on the page, the X and Y coordinates increase respectively.
.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the official documentation of the AnalyzeResult class and the DocumentAnalysisClient.AnalyzeDocument method in the Azure.AI.FormRecognizer namespace. You may also find this StackOverflow thread helpful, where a similar question about the bounding box coordinates in Azure Form Recognizer is discussed.
