clip_region_relclip_region_relClipRegionRelClipRegionRel (Operator)

Name

clip_region_relclip_region_relClipRegionRelClipRegionRel — Clip a region relative to its smallest surrounding rectangle.

Signature

clip_region_rel(Region : RegionClipped : Top, Bottom, Left, Right : )

Description

clip_region_relclip_region_relClipRegionRelClipRegionRelClipRegionRel reduces the RegionRegionRegionRegionregion by eliminating parts close to the smallest surrounding rectangle of the RegionRegionRegionRegionregion. Specifically this means that the RegionRegionRegionRegionregion is clipped to a rectangle that is smaller than or equal to the smallest surrounding rectangle. The resulting clipped region is returned in RegionClippedRegionClippedRegionClippedRegionClippedregionClipped.

The rectangle to which the RegionRegionRegionRegionregion is clipped is determined by reducing the smallest surrounding axis-parallel rectangle at the top, bottom, left, and right side by the values given in TopTopTopToptop, BottomBottomBottomBottombottom, LeftLeftLeftLeftleft, and RightRightRightRightright, respectively.


(1)	(2)

Region with smallest surrounding rectangle (1) and clipped region (2).

These four parameters must contain numbers larger or equal to zero. If all parameters are set to zero, the region remains unchanged.

Execution Information

Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Automatically parallelized on tuple level.

Result

clip_region_relclip_region_relClipRegionRelClipRegionRelClipRegionRel returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty input (no regions given) can be set via set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>) and the behavior in case of an empty input region via set_system('empty_region_result',<Result>)set_system("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
