RegionBoundingRectangle
Computes the smallest rectangle containing a region.
Syntax
C++
C#
void avl::RegionBoundingRectangle ( const avl::Region& inRegion, avl::BoundingRectangleFeature::Type inBoundingRectangleFeature, atl::real inReferenceAngle, avl::RectangleOrientation::Type inRectangleOrientation, avl::Rectangle2D& outBoundingRectangle, atl::Optional<avl::Point2D&> outCenter = atl::NIL, atl::Optional<atl::real&> outLongSide = atl::NIL, atl::Optional<atl::real&> outShortSide = atl::NIL )
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
inRegion | const Region& | Input region | |
![]() |
inBoundingRectangleFeature | BoundingRectangleFeature::Type | MinimalArea | Determines what kind of bounding rectangle will be computed |
![]() |
inReferenceAngle | real | 0.0f | The middle angle of the valid range of the output rectangle's angle |
![]() |
inRectangleOrientation | RectangleOrientation::Type | Horizontal | Orientation of the output rectangle |
![]() |
outBoundingRectangle | Rectangle2D& | The smallest bounding rectangle of the input region | |
![]() |
outCenter | Optional<Point2D&> | NIL | Center of the bounding rectangle |
![]() |
outLongSide | Optional<real&> | NIL | Length of the bounding rectangle long side |
![]() |
outShortSide | Optional<real&> | NIL | Length of the bounding rectangle short side |
Description
The filter computes a rectangle with the smallest possible selected feature that contains all pixels belonging to the input region. The angle of the resulting rectangle is then normalized as in the NormalizeRectangleOrientation filter.
Hints
- If the input region is not guaranteed to be non-empty, precede this filter with SkipEmptyRegion.
Examples
RegionBoundingRectangle performed on a sample region with inRectangleOrientation set on Vertical.
Errors
| Error type | Description |
|---|---|
| DomainError | Empty region on input in RegionBoundingRectangle. |
