Adding user methods to the generated OcrdPage API

Let's say you want to add a method get_FirstTextRegion on the pc:Page element:

1. Create a file ocrd_models/ocrd_page_user_methods/get_FirstTextRegion.py

   def get_FirstTextRegion(self):
       return self.get_TextRegion[0]
   

2. Edit ocrd_models/ocrd_page_user_methods.py and append to the METHOD_SPECS list:

   METHOD_SPECS = (
       # ...
       _add_method(r'^PageType$', 'get_FirstTextRegion')
       # ...
   )
   

   If the filename (sans the .py extension) does not match the method_name, you can provide an additional file_name attribute to _add_method:

   METHOD_SPECS = (
       # ...
       _add_method(r'^PageType$', 'exportChildren', 'exportChildren_PageType')
       # ...
   )
   

   Would add the method exportChildren from a file exportChildren_PageType.py.

   Note: The method name in the file must match the method name passed to _add_method. This is not checked automatically, so double-check manually!

3. Regenerate the PAGE API:

   make generate-page
