Operator Reference
gen_ellipse (Operator)
gen_ellipse
— Create an ellipse.
Signature
Description
The operator gen_ellipse
generates one or more ellipses with the
center
(Row
, Column
), the orientation Phi
and the half-radii (half axes) Radius1
and Radius2
.
The angle is indicated in arc measure according to the x axis
in mathematically positive direction.
More than one region can be created by
passing tuples of parameter values.
The center must be located within the image coordinates.
The coordinate system runs from (0,0) (upper left corner) to
(Width-1,Height-1). See get_system
and reset_obj_db
in this context.
If the ellipse reaches beyond the edge of the image it is clipped
to the current image format according to the value of
the system flag 'clip_region' (set_system
).
Parameter Broadcasting
This operator supports parameter broadcasting. This means that each parameter can be given as a tuple of length 1 or N. Parameters with tuple length 1 will be repeated internally such that the number of created items is always N.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.

Example (HDevelop)
read_image (Image, 'fabrik') gen_ellipse (Ellipse, 200, 200, rad(10), 160, 90) reduce_domain (Image, Ellipse, ImageReduced) dev_clear_window () dev_display (ImageReduced)
Complexity
Runtime complexity: O(Radius1
* 2)
Storage complexity (byte): O(Radius1
* 8)
Result
If the parameter values are correct, the operator gen_ellipse
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. Otherwise an exception is raised.
The clipping according to the current image format is set via the
operator set_system('clip_region',<'true'/'false'>)
.
