gen_image1 ( : Image : Type, Width, Height, PixelPointer : )

Create an image from a pointer to the pixels.

The operator gen_image1 creates an image of the size Width * Height. The pixels in PixelPointer are stored line-sequentially. The type of the given pixels (PixelPointer) must correspond to Type. The storage for the new image is newly created by HALCON . Thus, the storage on the PixelPointer can be released after the call. Since the type of the parameter PixelPointer is generic (long) a cast has to be used for the call.


Parameters

Image (output_object)
image -> object : byte / direction / cyclic / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4 / real
Created image with new image matrix.

Type (input_control)
string -> string
Pixel type.
Default value: 'byte'
List of values: 'byte', 'direction', 'cyclic', 'int1', 'int2', 'uint2', 'int4', 'real'

Width (input_control)
extent.x -> integer
Width of image.
Default value: 512
Suggested values: 128, 256, 512, 1024
Typical range of values: 1 <= Width <= 512 (lin)
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 10
Restriction: Width >= 1

Height (input_control)
extent.y -> integer
Height of image.
Default value: 512
Suggested values: 128, 256, 512, 1024
Typical range of values: 1 <= Height <= 512 (lin)
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 10
Restriction: Height >= 1

PixelPointer (input_control)
integer -> integer
Pointer to first gray value.


Example (Syntax: C)
void NewImage(Hobject *new)
{
  unsigned char  image[768*525];
  int            r,c;
  for (r=0; r<525; r++)
    for (c=0; c<768; c++)
      image[r*768+c] = c % 255;
  gen_image1(new,"byte",768,525,(long)image);
}

Result

If the parameter values are correct, the operator gen_image1 returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). Otherwise an exception handling is raised.


Parallelization Information

gen_image1 is reentrant and processed without parallelization.
