Operator Reference
obj_to_integer (Operator)
obj_to_integer — Convert an iconic object into an “integer number.”
Signature
obj_to_integer(Objects : : Index, Number : SurrogateTuple)
Description
obj_to_integer stores Number, starting at index
Index, of the database keys of the input object
Objects as integer numbers in the output parameter
SurrogateTuple. If -1 is passed for Number all
objects beginning with Index are copied. This facilitates
a direct access to an arbitrary element of Objects. In
conjunction with count_obj (returns the number of objects in
Objects) the elements of Objects can be processed
successively. The objects are not duplicated by
obj_to_integer and thus must not be cleared by
clear_obj.
For a short description of the iconic objects that are available in HALCON see the introduction of chapter Object.
Attention
The objects' data is not duplicated.
Execution Information
- Supports objects on compute devices.
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
Objects (input_object) object(-array) → object
Objects for which the surrogates are to be returned.
Index (input_control) integer → (integer)
Starting index of the surrogates to be returned.
Default: 1
Value range:
1
≤
Index
Number (input_control) integer → (integer)
Number of surrogates to be returned.
Default: -1
Restriction:
Number == -1 || Number + Index <= number(Objects)
SurrogateTuple (output_control) pointer(-array) → (integer)
Tuple containing the surrogates.
Example (HDevelop)
* Access the i-th element: obj_to_integer(Objects,i,1,Surrogat)
Complexity
Runtime complexity: O(|Objects| + Number)
Result
obj_to_integer returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if all parameters are
correct. If the input is empty the behavior can be set via
set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:).
If necessary, an exception is raised.
Alternatives
copy_obj,
select_obj,
copy_image,
gen_image_proto
