  // Setup the normalization transformation parameters.
  // The normalizations applied to a blob are as follows:
  // 1. An optional block layout rotation that was applied during layout
  // analysis to make the textlines horizontal.
  // 2. A normalization transformation (LocalNormTransform):
  // Subtract the "origin"
  // Apply an x,y scaling.
  // Apply an optional rotation.
  // Add back a final translation.
  // The origin is in the block-rotated space, and is usually something like
  // the x-middle of the word at the baseline.
  // 3. Zero or more further normalization transformations that are applied
  // in sequence, with a similar pattern to the first normalization transform.
  //
  // A DENORM holds the parameters of a single normalization, and can execute
  // both the LocalNormTransform (a forwards normalization), and the
  // LocalDenormTransform which is an inverse transform or de-normalization.
  // A DENORM may point to a predecessor DENORM, which is actually the earlier
  // normalization, so the full normalization sequence involves executing all
  // predecessors first and then the transform in "this".
  // Let x be image co-ordinates and that we have normalization classes A, B, C
  // where we first apply A then B then C to get normalized x':
  // x' = CBAx
  // Then the backwards (to original coordinates) would be:
  // x = A^-1 B^-1 C^-1 x'
  // and A = B->predecessor_ and B = C->predecessor_
  // NormTransform executes all predecessors recursively, and then this.
  // NormTransform would be used to transform an image-based feature to
  // normalized space for use in a classifier
  // DenormTransform inverts this and then all predecessors. It can be
  // used to get back to the original image coordinates from normalized space.
  // The LocalNormTransform member executes just the transformation
  // in "this" without the layout rotation or any predecessors. It would be
  // used to run each successive normalization, eg the word normalization,
  // and later the character normalization.

  // Arguments:
  // block: if not NULL, then this is the first transformation, and
  //        block->re_rotation() needs to be used after the Denorm
  //        transformation to get back to the image coords.
  // rotation: if not NULL, apply this rotation after translation to the
  //           origin and scaling. (Usually a classify rotation.)
  // predecessor: if not NULL, then predecessor has been applied to the
  //              input space and needs to be undone to complete the inverse.
  // The above pointers are not owned by this DENORM and are assumed to live
  // longer than this denorm, except rotation, which is deep copied on input.
  //
  // x_origin: The x origin which will be mapped to final_xshift in the result.
  // y_origin: The y origin which will be mapped to final_yshift in the result.
  //           Added to result of row->baseline(x) if not NULL.
  //
  // x_scale: scale factor for the x-coordinate.
  // y_scale: scale factor for the y-coordinate. Ignored if segs is given.
  // Note that these scale factors apply to the same x and y system as the
  // x-origin and y-origin apply, ie after any block rotation, but before
  // the rotation argument is applied.
  //
  // final_xshift: The x component of the final translation.
  // final_yshift: The y component of the final translation.
  //
  // In theory, any of the commonly used normalizations can be setup here:
  // * Traditional baseline normalization on a word:
  // SetupNormalization(block, NULL, NULL,
  //                    box.x_middle(), baseline,
  //                    kBlnXHeight / x_height, kBlnXHeight / x_height,
  //                    0, kBlnBaselineOffset);
  // * "Numeric mode" baseline normalization on a word, in which the blobs
  //   are positioned with the bottom as the baseline is achieved by making
  //   a separate DENORM for each blob.
  // SetupNormalization(block, NULL, NULL,
  //                    box.x_middle(), box.bottom(),
  //                    kBlnXHeight / x_height, kBlnXHeight / x_height,
  //                    0, kBlnBaselineOffset);
  // * Anisotropic character normalization used by IntFx.
  // SetupNormalization(NULL, NULL, denorm,
  //                    centroid_x, centroid_y,
  //                    51.2 / ry, 51.2 / rx, 128, 128);
  // * Normalize blob height to x-height (current OSD):
  // SetupNormalization(NULL, &rotation, NULL,
  //                    box.rotational_x_middle(rotation),
  //                    box.rotational_y_middle(rotation),
  //                    kBlnXHeight / box.rotational_height(rotation),
  //                    kBlnXHeight / box.rotational_height(rotation),
  //                    0, kBlnBaselineOffset);
  // * Secondary normalization for classification rotation (current):
  // FCOORD rotation = block->classify_rotation();
  // float target_height = kBlnXHeight / CCStruct::kXHeightCapRatio;
  // SetupNormalization(NULL, &rotation, denorm,
  //                    box.rotational_x_middle(rotation),
  //                    box.rotational_y_middle(rotation),
  //                    target_height / box.rotational_height(rotation),
  //                    target_height / box.rotational_height(rotation),
  //                    0, kBlnBaselineOffset);
  // * Proposed new normalizations for CJK: Between them there is then
  // no need for further normalization at all, and the character fills the cell.
  // ** Replacement for baseline normalization on a word:
  // Scales height and width independently so that modal height and pitch
  // fill the cell respectively.
  // float cap_height = x_height / CCStruct::kXHeightCapRatio;
  // SetupNormalization(block, NULL, NULL,
  //                    box.x_middle(), cap_height / 2.0f,
  //                    kBlnCellHeight / fixed_pitch,
  //                    kBlnCellHeight / cap_height,
  //                    0, 0);
  // ** Secondary normalization for classification (with rotation) (proposed):
  // Requires a simple translation to the center of the appropriate character
  // cell, no further scaling and a simple rotation (or nothing) about the
  // cell center.
  // FCOORD rotation = block->classify_rotation();
  // SetupNormalization(NULL, &rotation, denorm,
  //                    fixed_pitch_cell_center,
