## Examples

Shows how to compare documents and save results as images.

```python
# There is a several ways to compare documents:
first_doc = MY_DIR + 'Table column bookmarks.docx'
second_doc = MY_DIR + 'Table column bookmarks.doc'
pages = aw.lowcode.Comparer.compare_to_images(v1=first_doc, v2=second_doc, image_save_options=aw.saving.ImageSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.PNG), author='Author', date_time=datetime.datetime(1, 1, 1))
with system_helper.io.FileStream(first_doc, system_helper.io.FileMode.OPEN, system_helper.io.FileAccess.READ) as first_stream_in:
    with system_helper.io.FileStream(second_doc, system_helper.io.FileMode.OPEN, system_helper.io.FileAccess.READ) as second_stream_in:
        compare_options = aw.comparing.CompareOptions()
        compare_options.ignore_case_changes = True
        pages = aw.lowcode.Comparer.compare_to_images(v1=first_stream_in, v2=second_stream_in, image_save_options=aw.saving.ImageSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.PNG), author='Author', date_time=datetime.datetime(1, 1, 1), compare_options=compare_options)
