paint_xld
— Paint XLD objects into an image.
Signature
paint_xld(XLD, Image : ImageResult : Grayval : )
Description
paint_xld
paints the XLD objects XLD
of type contour or
polygon with the constant gray values Grayval
into each channel
of the background image given in Image
and returns the result in
ImageResult
. Open contours of XLD
objects are closed and their enclosed regions are filled up. The rim of
the subpixel XLD objects is painted onto the background image using
anti-aliasing.
Filling up XLD-objects that have crossings or segments that are very close
(lying in neighboring pixels) does not work correctly and leads to artifacts.
The set_system
parameter 'neighborhood' defines whether
diagonal neighbors are filled as well as orthogonal neighbors.
Grayval
contains the gray values for painting the XLD objects. These
gray values can either be specified for each channel once, valid for all XLD
objects, or for each XLD object separately. To define the latter, group the
channel gray values g of each XLD object and concatenate them to
a tuple according to the order of the XLD objects, e.g., for a three channel
image:
[g(channel1,xld1), g(channel2,xld1), g(channel3,xld1), g(channel1,xld2), ... ].
If the input image is of type direction
, gray values that are not
in the value range that is valid for direction
images are set to
the value 255 to mark them as invalid.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
XLD
(input_object) xld(-array) →
object
XLD objects to be painted into the input image.
Image
(input_object) (multichannel-)image →
object (byte / direction / cyclic / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4 / real / complex)
Image in which the xld objects are to be painted.
ImageResult
(output_object) image →
object (byte / direction / cyclic / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4 / real / complex)
Image containing the result.
Grayval
(input_control) number(-array) →
(real / integer)
Desired gray value of the xld object.
Default: 255.0
Suggested values: 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0, 16.0, 32.0, 64.0, 128.0, 253.0, 254.0, 255.0
Example (HDevelop)
* Paint colored xld objects into a gray image * read and copy image to generate a three channel image read_image(Image1,'green-dot') copy_image(Image1,Image2) copy_image(Image1,Image3) compose3(Image1,Image2,Image3,Image) * extract subpixel border threshold_sub_pix(Image1,Border,128) * select the circle and the arrows select_obj(Border,circle,14) select_obj(Border,arrows,16) concat_obj(circle,arrows,green_dot) * paint a green circle and white arrows (to paint all * objects e.g., blue, pass [0,0,255] tuple for GrayVal) paint_xld(green_dot,Image,ImageResult,[0,255,0,255,255,255])
Result
paint_xld
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.
