set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval (Operator)

Name

set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval — Set single gray values in an image.

Signature

Description

set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval sets the gray values of the input image ImageImageImageImageimage at the positions (RowRowRowRowrow,ColumnColumnColumnColumncolumn) to the values specified by GrayvalGrayvalGrayvalGrayvalgrayval. If ImageImageImageImageimage is a multi-channel image, you can either set a single gray value for a pixel and thus set it for all available channels, or you can set the gray values g for all channels individually by concatenating them within GrayvalGrayvalGrayvalGrayvalgrayval. For example, for a three-channel image three gray values (according to the order of the channels) are specified for each pixel: [g(channel0,pixel0), g(channel1,pixel0), g(channel2,pixel0), g(channel0,pixel1), ... ]. Please note that for complex or vector field images, two gray values per pixel must be specified (per channel).

If the 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.

Attention

The operator set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval produces quite some overhead. Typically, it is used to set single gray values of an image. It is not suitable for programming image processing operations such as filters. In this case it is more useful to use the operator get_image_pointer1get_image_pointer1GetImagePointer1GetImagePointer1GetImagePointer1 and to directly use the C or C++ interface for integrating own procedures.

Note also that set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval modifies the content of an already existing image (ImageImageImageImageimage). Besides, even other image objects may be affected: For example, if you created ImageImageImageImageimage via copy_objcopy_objCopyObjCopyObjCopyObj from another image object, set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval will also modify the image matrix of this other image object. Therefore, set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval should only be used to overpaint newly created image objects.

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:

• ImageImageImageImageimage

The value of this parameter may not be shared across multiple threads without external synchronization.

Parameters

Result

set_grayvalset_grayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayvalSetGrayval 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>:)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
