Parameter

centerVariance

Defines how much the centers can vary along a certain direction.

A reasonable value is the height of the letters (or less).

numDirections

The number of angles scanned for possible links.

A reasonable value is 16 (for the full 180° range). If this is too inaccurate use 32.

range

Use this parameter to restrict the possible directions. The angle value is measured in radians.
