Can I provide matrix to fitz.utils.get_text?

[ivanstepanovftw]

Similarly to fitz.utils.get_pixmap, where I can provide matrix or dpi argument:

page_pixmap = fitz.utils.get_pixmap(
    page=page,
    matrix=fitz.Matrix(5, 5),  # 360 dpi
    clip=span["bbox"],
    colorspace="RGB",
    alpha=False,
)

I want to use the matrix (or dpi) in the fitz.utils.get_text function. This is to ensure that the pixel units are scaled consistently with the page pixmap.

@JorjMcKie I know you can help me with that

Sorry, there is no can do - for principal reasons, has nothing to do with MuPDF / PyMuPDF.
But I think I know what you are aiming at:

"When I know the position of some text on the page, then where on the image do I find hat text?"

• The page rectangle, and the bboxes of everything on it, are Rect rectangles with float coordinates.
• Every image, and everything on it, is addressable by pixels which has integer coordinates.
• Rendering a page to an image therefore entails a transformation page.rect -> pix.irect.

To achieve what you want, you can use the matrix mat = page.rect.torect(pix.irect). Use this matrix to compute the position of some page bbox in the image by bbox * mat, or even more correctly (bbox * mat).irect.
