contlengthcontlengthContlengthContlengthcontlength (Operator)

Name

contlengthcontlengthContlengthContlengthcontlength — Contour length of a region.

Signature

contlength(Regions : : : ContLength)

Herror contlength(const Hobject Regions, double* ContLength)

Herror T_contlength(const Hobject Regions, Htuple* ContLength)

void Contlength(const HObject& Regions, HTuple* ContLength)

HTuple HRegion::Contlength() const

static void HOperatorSet.Contlength(HObject regions, out HTuple contLength)

HTuple HRegion.Contlength()

def contlength(regions: HObject) -> Sequence[float]

def contlength_s(regions: HObject) -> float

Description

The operator contlengthcontlengthContlengthContlengthContlengthcontlength calculates the total length of the contour (sum of all connection components of the region) for each region of RegionsRegionsRegionsRegionsregionsregions. The distance between two neighboring contour points parallel to the coordinate axes is rated 1, the distance in the diagonal is rated .

In the documentation of this chapter (Regions / Features), you can find an image illustrating regions which vary in the length of their contours.

If more than one region is passed the numerical values of the contour length are stored in a tuple, the position of a value in the tuple corresponding to the position of the region in the input tuple. In case of an empty region the operator contlengthcontlengthContlengthContlengthContlengthcontlength returns the value 0.

Attention

The contour of holes is not calculated.

Result

The operator contlengthcontlengthContlengthContlengthContlengthcontlength returns the value 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. The behavior in case of empty input (no input regions 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>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary an exception is raised.
