region_to_binregion_to_binRegionToBinRegionToBinregion_to_bin (Operator)

Name

region_to_binregion_to_binRegionToBinRegionToBinregion_to_bin — Convert a region into a binary byte-image.

Signature

region_to_bin(Region : BinImage : ForegroundGray, BackgroundGray, Width, Height : )

Description

region_to_binregion_to_binRegionToBinRegionToBinregion_to_bin converts the input region given in RegionRegionRegionregionregion into a 'byte'"byte""byte""byte""byte"-image and assigns a gray value of ForegroundGrayForegroundGrayForegroundGrayforegroundGrayforeground_gray to all pixels in the region. If the input region is larger than the generated image, it is clipped at the image borders. The background is set to BackgroundGrayBackgroundGrayBackgroundGraybackgroundGraybackground_gray.

Execution Information

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

Parameters

RegionRegionRegionregionregion (input_object) region(-array) → object

Regions to be converted.

BinImageBinImageBinImagebinImagebin_image (output_object) image → object (byte)

Result image of dimension Width * Height containing the converted regions.

ForegroundGrayForegroundGrayForegroundGrayforegroundGrayforeground_gray (input_control) integer → (integer)

Gray value in which the regions are displayed.

Default: 255

Suggested values: 0, 1, 50, 100, 128, 150, 200, 254, 255

Value range: 0 ≤ ForegroundGray ForegroundGray ForegroundGray foregroundGray foreground_gray ≤ 255 (lin)

Recommended increment: 1

BackgroundGrayBackgroundGrayBackgroundGraybackgroundGraybackground_gray (input_control) integer → (integer)

Gray value in which the background is displayed.

Default: 0

Suggested values: 0, 1, 50, 100, 128, 150, 200, 254, 255

Value range: 0 ≤ BackgroundGray BackgroundGray BackgroundGray backgroundGray background_gray ≤ 255 (lin)

Recommended increment: 1

WidthWidthWidthwidthwidth (input_control) extent.x → (integer)

Width of the image to be generated.

Default: 512

Suggested values: 256, 512, 1024

Value range: 1 ≤ Width Width Width width width ≤ 1024 (lin)

Minimum increment: 1

Recommended increment: 16

Restriction: Width >= 1

HeightHeightHeightheightheight (input_control) extent.y → (integer)

Height of the image to be generated.

Default: 512

Suggested values: 256, 512, 1024

Value range: 1 ≤ Height Height Height height height ≤ 1024 (lin)

Minimum increment: 1

Recommended increment: 16

Restriction: Height >= 1

Complexity

O(2*HeightHeightHeightheightheight*WidthWidthWidthwidthwidth).

Result

region_to_binregion_to_binRegionToBinRegionToBinregion_to_bin always returns 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) . 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>)set_system("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>)set_system("empty_region_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
