## Includes

## Description

Instances of PopplerStructureElement are used to describe the structure of a PopplerDocument. To access the elements in the structure of the document, use `poppler_structure_element_iter_new()` to obtain an iterator for the top-level PopplerStructureElement, and then use the PopplerStructureElementIter methods to traverse the structure tree.

## Functions

### poppler_structure_element_iter_new ()

    PopplerStructureElementIter *
    poppler_structure_element_iter_new (PopplerDocument *poppler_document);

Returns the root PopplerStructureElementIter for `document` , or `NULL`. The returned value must be freed with `poppler_structure_element_iter_free()`.

Documents may have an associated structure tree &mdashmostly, Tagged-PDF compliant documents— which can be used to obtain information about the document structure and its contents. Each node in the tree contains a PopplerStructureElement.

Here is a simple example that walks the whole tree:

    static void
    walk_structure (PopplerStructureElementIter *iter)
    {
      do {
        /* Get the element and do something with it */
        PopplerStructureElementIter *child = poppler_structure_element_iter_get_child (iter);
        if (child)
          walk_structure (child);
        poppler_structure_element_iter_free (child);
      } while (poppler_structure_element_iter_next (iter));
    }
    ...
    {
      iter = poppler_structure_element_iter_new (document);
      walk_structure (iter);
      poppler_structure_element_iter_free (iter);
    }

#### Parameters

poppler_document | a PopplerDocument. |

a new PopplerStructureElementIter, or `NULL` if document doesn't have structure tree.
