Operator Reference
gen_rectangle1 (Operator)
gen_rectangle1 — Create a rectangle parallel to the coordinate axes.
Signature
Description
The operator gen_rectangle1 generates one or more rectangles parallel
to the coordinate axes which are described by the upper left corner
(Row1, Column1) and the lower right corner
(Row2, Column2).
More than one region can be created by passing a tuple of corner points.
The coordinate system runs from (0,0) (upper left corner) to
(Width-1,Height-1). See get_system
and reset_obj_db in this context.
Parameter Broadcasting
This operator supports parameter broadcasting. This means that each parameter can be given as a tuple of length 1 or N. Parameters with tuple length 1 will be repeated internally such that the number of created items is always N.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.

Example (HDevelop)
* Contrast improvement in a rectangular region of interest dev_open_window (0, 0, 512, 512, 'black', WindowHandle) read_image(Image,'mreut') dev_display (Image) draw_rectangle1(WindowHandle,Row1,Column1,Row2,Column2) gen_rectangle1(Rectangle,Row1,Column1,Row2,Column2) reduce_domain(Image,Rectangle,Mask) emphasize(Mask,Emphasize,9,9,1.0) dev_display (Emphasize)
Result
If the parameter values are correct, the operator gen_rectangle1
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
.
Otherwise an exception is raised.
The clipping according to the current image format is set via the
operator set_system('clip_region',<'true'/'false'>).
