DrawBoxes_MultiColor

Advanced

Module: FoundationLite

Draws boxes on an image with multiple colors.

Name Type Range Description
Input value inImage Image Input image
Input value inBoxes Box?Array?
Input value inColorIds Hash?Array*
Input value inPalette PixelArray*
Input value inOpacity Real 0.0 - 1.0
Input value inForceRgb Bool Filter will convert monochromatic image to RGB if needed
Output value outImage Image Output image

Description

The operation draws an array of boxes on the inImage using common drawing parameters for all of them. Boxes may exceed the image dimensions - those will be drawn partially or not at all, but the filter execution will succeed. Note that drawing is conducted in a pixel-precise way as the Box type is pixel-precise.

Hints

  • If you want to draw on an empty background, use EmptyImage filter before.
  • Define inBoxes. This will be the primitives to be drawn.
  • Leave inPalette and inColorIds not set to have all the primitives drawn with random colors. Set a custom palette of colors here to decide explicitly how each of the primitives should be drawn using inColorIds.
  • Set inForceRgb to True, if you want to get a 3-channel output regardless of what is on the input.

Examples

Example usage of the DrawBoxes_MultiColor on an empty image.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

DomainError Empty inPalette while inBoxes has objects to draw in DrawBoxes_MultiColor.
DomainError No palette defined with inPalette for specified inColorIds in DrawBoxes_MultiColor.
DomainError The sizes inBoxes and inColorIds do not match in DrawBoxes_MultiColor.
