Overview

remove duplicates from a collection of TextRun objects. This can be helpful when a PDF uses slightly offset overlapping characters to achieve a fake ‘bold’ effect.

Constant Summary collapse

OVERLAPPING_THRESHOLD =

This should be between 0 and 1. If TextRun B obscures this much of TextRun A (and they have identical characters) then one will be discarded
