CreatePolygonRegion


Module: FoundationLite

Creates a polygonal region corresponding to a given closed path.

Name Type Range Description
inPolygon Path
inPolygonAlignment CoordinateSystem2D* Adjusts the polygon to the position of the inspected object
inFrameWidth Integer 0 - 65535 Width of the created region's frame
inFrameHeight Integer 0 - 65535 Height of the created region's frame
outRegion Region Output region
outAlignedPolygon Path The input polygon transformed to the absolute coordinate system

Description

The operation creates a region containing pixels lying inside the shape described by inPolygon.

The inFrameWidth and inFrameHeight parameters most often should be set equal to the dimensions of the image this region will be used with. If the input polygon exceeds these dimensions, the output region will be cropped.

Hints

  • Remember to set inFrameWidth and inFrameHeight inputs to specify the region frame.

Examples

Remarks

  • inPolygon has to be a closed path, otherwise an error with appropriate description occurs.
