gen_image3gen_image3GenImage3GenImage3gen_image3 (Operator)

Name

gen_image3gen_image3GenImage3GenImage3gen_image3 — Create an image from three pointers to the pixels (red/green/blue).

Signature

gen_image3( : ImageRGB : Type, Width, Height, PixelPointerRed, PixelPointerGreen, PixelPointerBlue : )

Description

The operator gen_image3gen_image3GenImage3GenImage3GenImage3gen_image3 creates a three-channel image of the size WidthWidthWidthWidthwidthwidth * HeightHeightHeightHeightheightheight. The pixels in PixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedpixelPointerRedpixel_pointer_red, PixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenpixelPointerGreenpixel_pointer_green and PixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluepixelPointerBluepixel_pointer_blue are stored line-sequentially. The type of the given pixels (PixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedpixelPointerRedpixel_pointer_red etc.) must correspond to TypeTypeTypeTypetypetype (see gen_image_constgen_image_constGenImageConstGenImageConstGenImageConstgen_image_const for a more detailed description of the pixel types). The storage for the new image is newly created by HALCON. Thus, it can be released after the call. Note that how to pass a pointer value depends on the used operator signature and programming environment. Make sure to pass the actual memory address where the image data is stored, not the address of a pointer variable. Care must be taken not to truncate 64-bit pointers on 64-bit architectures.

Attention

gen_image3gen_image3GenImage3GenImage3GenImage3gen_image3 does not check whether the pixels in PixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedPixelPointerRedpixelPointerRedpixel_pointer_red,PixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenPixelPointerGreenpixelPointerGreenpixel_pointer_green, and PixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluePixelPointerBluepixelPointerBluepixel_pointer_blue are valid or not. Thus, it must be ensured by the user that they are valid. Otherwise, the program may crash!

Execution Information

Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
Processed without parallelization.

Example (C)

  unsigned char  green[768*525];
  unsigned char  blue[768*525];
  int            r,c;
  for (r=0; r<525; r++)
    for (c=0; c<768; c++)
    {
      red[r*768+c]   = c % 255;
      green[r*768+c] = (767 - c) % 255;
      blue[r*768+c]  = r % 255;
    }
    gen_image3(new,"byte",768,525,(Hlong)red,(long)green,(long)blue);
}

main()
{
  Hobject  rgb;
  open_window(0,0,768,525,0,"","",&WindowHandle);
  NewRGBImage(&rgb);
  disp_color(rgb,WindowHandle);
}

Result

If the parameter values are correct, the operator gen_image3gen_image3GenImage3GenImage3GenImage3gen_image3 returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). Otherwise an exception is raised.
