Operator Reference
set_message_obj (Operator)
set_message_obj
— Add a key/object pair to the message.
Signature
set_message_obj(ObjectData : : MessageHandle, Key : )
Description
set_message_obj
stores an object associated with a key in the
message, which behaves as a dictionary-like data container.
The message is denoted by the MessageHandle
parameter.
ObjectData
is copied by the operation (copying the object data
in HALCON's object database, see copy_obj
), and can thus be
immediately reused. Both an empty object or an object tuple are considered
as a valid value that can be associated with the key.
If any data (tuple or object) was already associated with given key
(Key
), the old data is destroyed by set_message_obj
and replaced by ObjectData
.
The Key
has to be a string or an integer.
String keys are treated case sensitive.
The object data for the given key can be retrieved again from the message
using get_message_obj
.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
Parameters
ObjectData
(input_object) object(-array) →
object
Object to be associated with the key.
MessageHandle
(input_control, state is modified) message →
(handle)
Message handle.
Number of elements: MessageHandle == 1
Restriction:
MessageHandle != 0
Key
(input_control) string →
(string / integer)
Key string or integer.
Number of elements: Key == 1
Example (HDevelop)
create_message (Message) read_image( Image, 'filename') set_message_obj (Image, Message, 'my_image')
Result
If the operation succeeds, set_message_tuple
returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
.
Otherwise an exception is raised. Possible error conditions include
invalid parameters (handle or key) or resource allocation error.
