Get Changes Coordinates Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET can compute pixel coordinates for each detected change, letting you overlay highlights on preview images of the source and target documents.
Enable coordinate calculation, run the comparison, and inspect the box on each change:
from groupdocs.comparison import Comparer
from groupdocs.comparison.options import CompareOptions
def get_changes_coordinates():
with Comparer("./source.docx") as comparer:
comparer.add("./target.docx")
options = CompareOptions()
options.calculate_coordinates = True
comparer.compare(options)
for change in comparer.get_changes():
print(f"Type: {change.type}, X: {change.box.x}, Y: {change.box.y}, Text: {change.text}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
get_changes_coordinates()
