select_shapeselect_shapeSelectShapeSelectShape (Operator)

Name

select_shapeselect_shapeSelectShapeSelectShape — Choose regions with the aid of shape features.

Signature

Description

The operator select_shapeselect_shapeSelectShapeSelectShapeSelectShape chooses regions according to shape. For each input region from RegionsRegionsRegionsRegionsregions the indicated features (FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeatures) are calculated. If each (OperationOperationOperationOperationoperation = 'and') or at least one (OperationOperationOperationOperationoperation = 'or') of the calculated features is within the default limits (MinMinMinMinmin,MaxMaxMaxMaxmax) the region is adapted into the output (duplicated). The parameters MinMinMinMinmin and MaxMaxMaxMaxmax can be set to 'min'"min""min""min""min" or 'max'"max""max""max""max" in order to leave bottom and top limits, respectively, open.

Condition:

For an illustration of these features, please refer to the documentation of this chapter (Regions / Features).

• 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

The operator select_shapeselect_shapeSelectShapeSelectShapeSelectShape returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. The behavior in case of empty input (no input objects available) is set via the operator 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>). The behavior in case of empty region (the region is the empty set) is set 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.
