Azure-docs: Microsoft Form Recognizer boundingBox values
We are looking to build on the Forms Recognizer platform and was wondering if someone could explain the boundingBox values. For example, could these values be used to programmatically draw a box around the extracted value to show the user where the value was pulled from? Looks like the first value lines up to the x coordinate but the other values are a mystery. TIA

@ehalsey The 8 numbers represent 4 pairs of (x,y) coordinates of the bounding box corners in the following order: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. The origin of the coordinates system is the bottom left of the page.

Can we view these bounding boxes visually with a pre-existing tool?
