Operator Reference
height_width_ratio (Operator)
height_width_ratio — Compute the width, height, and aspect ratio of the surrounding
rectangle parallel to the coordinate axes.
Signature
Description
The operator height_width_ratio calculates the surrounding
rectangle of all input regions (parallel to the coordinate axes).
The surrounding rectangle is described by the coordinates of the
corner pixels
(Row1,Column1,Row2,Column2)
(see smallest_rectangle1). Based on these values,
height_width_ratio computes the width, height, and aspect
ratio of the smallest surrounding rectangle as follows:
If more than one region is passed in Regions, the results
are stored in tuples in the same order as the respective regions in
the Regions. In case of empty regions, all parameters have
the value 0 if no other behavior was set (see set_system).
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
Parameters
Regions (input_object) region(-array) → object
Regions to be examined.
Height (output_control) extent.y(-array) → (integer)
Height of the surrounding rectangle of the region.
Width (output_control) extent.x(-array) → (integer)
Width of the surrounding rectangle of the region.
Ratio (output_control) real(-array) → (real)
Aspect ratio of the surrounding rectangle of the region.
Complexity
If F is the area of the region the mean runtime complexity is O(sqrt(F)).
Result
The operator height_width_ratio returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
if
the input is not empty. The behavior in case of empty input (no
input regions available) is set via the operator
set_system('no_object_result',<Result>). The behavior in
case of empty region (the region is the empty set) is set via
set_system('empty_region_result',<Result>). If necessary an
exception is raised.
