get_region_polygon🔗
Short description🔗
get_region_polygon — Polygon approximation of a region.
Signature🔗
get_region_polygon( region Region, number Tolerance, out polygon.y Rows, out polygon.x Columns )
Description🔗
The operator get_region_polygon calculates a polygon to approximate the
edge of a region. A polygon is a sequence of line (Rows) and
column coordinates (Columns). It describes the contour of the region.
Only the base points of the polygon are returned.
The parameter Tolerance indicates how large the maximum distance
between the polygon and the edge of the region may be.
Holes of the region are ignored.
The operator get_region_polygon returns the coordinates in the form of tuples.
Attention🔗
Holes of the region are ignored. Only one region may be passed, and this region must have exactly one connection component.
Execution information🔗
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🔗
Region (input_object) region → object
Region to be approximated.
Tolerance (input_control) number → (real / integer)
Maximum distance between the polygon and the edge of the region.
Default: 5.0
Suggested values: 0.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0
Value range: 0.0 ≤ Tolerance (lin)
Minimum increment: 0.01
Recommended increment: 1.0
Rows (output_control) polygon.y-array → (integer)
Line numbers of the base points of the contour.
Columns (output_control) polygon.x-array → (integer)
Column numbers of the base points of the contour.
Number of elements: Columns == Rows
Result🔗
The operator get_region_polygon normally returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).
If more than one connection component is passed an exception is raised.
The behavior in case of empty input (no input regions available) is set via
the operator set_system('no_object_result',<Result>).
