 * File:        boxchar.h
 * Description: Simple class to associate a Tesseract classification unit with
 *              its bounding box so that the boxes can be rotated as the image
 *              is rotated for degradation.  Also includes routines to output
 *              the character-tagged boxes to a boxfile.
