Description
The operation draws a strings on the inImage aligning the inLocationAnchor location of the text at the inLocations of the inImage.
The height of the font is fixed and equals 16 pixels.
Hints
- Connect an image source to the inImage input. Drawing will be done on this image.
- If you want to draw on an empty background, use EmptyImage filter before.
- Define inStrings. This will be the primitives to be drawn.
- For each of the strings also define its location by setting the inLocations input.
- If the locations provided on the inLocations input are in a local coordinate system, also set the inLocationAlignment input.
- Set inLocationAnchor do define how each of the strings should be aligned in relation to its location.
- Define the font size by setting the inSize input. Recommended values are: 16, 32, 48, 64.
- Define inConditions with the boolean values indicating the class (usually: OK/NOK) for each input primitive.
- Set the inColorIfTrue and inColorIfFalse inputs to define the two colors used for drawing.
- Set inForceRgb to True, if you want to get a 3-channel output regardless of what is on the input.
- Set inDrawingStyle to control quality, opacity, thickness, filling, point shapes and sizes.
