#content
defcontent()->::String
Returns
(::String) — Image content, represented as a stream of bytes.
Note: As with all bytes fields, protobuffers use a pure binary
representation, whereas JSON representations use base64.
Currently, this field only works for BatchAnnotateImages requests. It does
not work for AsyncBatchAnnotateImages requests.

defcontent=(value)->::String

(::Google::Cloud::Vision::V1::ImageSource) — Google Cloud Storage image location, or publicly-accessible image
URL. If both content and source are provided for an image, content
takes precedence and is used to perform the image annotation request.
