    Please first navigate to :doc:`tutorial/pipeline` to get an initial understanding of how the pipeline works; this will help in understanding the content of this section.


The **PipeResult** class is a container for storing pipeline processing results and implements a series of methods related to these results, such as draw_layout, draw_span.

In the above table, ``para_blocks`` is an array of dicts, each dict
representing a block structure. A block can support up to one level of
nesting.

**block**

The outer block is referred to as a first-level block, and the fields in
the first-level block include:

+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field                  | Description                                                 |
| Name                   |                                                             |
+========================+=============================================================+
| type                   | Block type (table|image)                                    |
+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| bbox                   | Block bounding box coordinates                              |
+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| blocks                 | list, each element is a dict representing a second-level    |
|                        | block                                                       |
+------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+

There are only two types of first-level blocks: “table” and “image”. All
other blocks are second-level blocks.

The fields in a second-level block include:

+----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field                | Description                                                    |
| Name                 |                                                                |
+======================+================================================================+
|                      | Block type                                                     |
| type                 |                                                                |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
|                      | Block bounding box coordinates                                 |
| bbox                 |                                                                |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
|                      | list, each element is a dict representing a line, used to      |
| lines                | describe the composition of a line of information              |
+----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+

================== ======================
type               Description
================== ======================
image_body         Main body of the image

================== ======================

**line**

The field format of a line is as follows:

+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field               | Description                                                    |
| Name                |                                                                |
+=====================+================================================================+
|                     | Bounding box coordinates of the line                           |
| bbox                |                                                                |
+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| spans               | list, each element is a dict representing a span, used to      |
|                     | describe the composition of the smallest unit                  |
+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+

**span**

+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Field               | Description                                               |
| Name                |                                                           |
+=====================+===========================================================+
| bbox                | Bounding box coordinates of the span                      |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| type                | Type of the span                                          |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| content             | Text spans use content, chart spans use img_path to store |
| \|                  | the actual text or screenshot path information            |
| img_path            |                                                           |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+

The types of spans are as follows:

================== ==============
type               Description
================== ==============
image              Image
table              Table
text               Text
inline_equation    Inline formula
interline_equation Block formula
================== ==============

**Summary**

A span is the smallest storage unit for all elements.

The elements stored within para_blocks are block information.

The block structure is as follows:

First-level block (if any) -> Second-level block -> Line -> Span
