Get changes coordinates Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to detect changes between source and target documents and get changes coordinates at document preview images. These coordinates can be useful to highlight changes at the document preview images.

To get the changes coordinates, follow these steps:

1. Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify the source document path or stream.
2. Call the Add method. Specify the target document path or stream.
3. Instantiate the CompareOptions object. Set the CalculateCoordinates property to true.
4. Set the CalculateCoordinatesMode to CalculateCoordinatesModeEnumeration.Source or CalculateCoordinatesModeEnumeration.Target if you want to get coordinates from source or target document.
5. Call the Comparer method. Specify the CompareOptions object from the previous step.
6. Call the GetChanges method.

The following code snippet shows how to compare multiple documents with specific options:

using System;
using GroupDocs.Comparison;
using GroupDocs.Comparison.Result;
using GroupDocs.Comparison.Options;
// ...

using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx"))
{
    comparer.Add("target.docx");
    CompareOptions compareOptions = new CompareOptions(){ CalculateCoordinates = true };
    comparer.Compare(compareOptions);
    ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.GetChanges();
    foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
        Console.WriteLine("Change Type: {0}, X: {1}, Y: {2}, Text: {3}", 
            change.Type, 
            change.Box.X, 
            change.Box.Y, 
            change.Text);
}

The result is as follows:
