# TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
# This sample will convert external annotations to the Document.json format used by Document AI Workbench for training.
# To process this the external annotation must have these type of objects:
#       1) Type
#       2) Text
#       3) Bounding Box (bounding boxes must be 1 of the 3 optional types)
#
# This is the bare minimum requirement to convert the annotations but for better accuracy you will need to also have:
#       1) Document width & height
#
# Bounding Box Types:
#   Type 1:
#       bounding_box:[{"x":1,"y":2},{"x":2,"y":2},{"x":2,"y":3},{"x":1,"y":3}]
#   Type 2:
#       bounding_box:{ "Width": 1, "Height": 1, "Left": 1, "Top": 1}
#   Type 3:
#       bounding_box: [1,2,2,2,2,3,1,3]
#
#   Note: If these types are not sufficient you can propose a feature request or contribute the new type and conversion functionality.
