L_GetFeretsDiameter

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_GetFeretsDiameter (pPoints, uSize, puFeretsDiameter, puFirstIndex, puSecondIndex, uFlags)

POINT *pPoints;	pointer to an array of object contour coordinate points
L_UINT uSize;	number of points in the array
L_UINT *puFeretsDiameter;	pointer to a variable to be updated
L_UINT *puFirstIndex;	pointer to a variable to be updated
L_UINT *puSecondIndex;	pointer to a variable to be updated
L_UINT32 uFlags;	flags

Computes the Ferets diameter of an object (the maximum distance between the points of the perimeter of the region), and finds its end points.

Parameter	Description
pPoints	Pointer to an array of object contour coordinate points.
uSize	Array size.
puFeretsDiameter	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the length of the Ferets diameter. The length is measured in pixels and is internally multiplied by 1000. Divide this value by 1000 to obtain the real length.
puFirstIndex	Pointer to a variable to be updated with index of the first end point of the Ferets diameter.
puSecondIndex	Pointer to a variable to be updated with index of the second end point of the Ferets diameter.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

This function calculates the Feret's Diameter (caliper length), the longest distance between any two points along the boundary. This is equivalent to the minimum diameter of a tube through which this object can pass.

This function does not call the status callback.

      return nRet; 
   nRet = L_GetRgnContourPoints (&LeadBitmap, NULL, &pPoints, &uSize, RGNCONTOUR_ALL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   nRet = L_GetFeretsDiameter (pPoints, uSize, &uFeretsDiam, &uFstIndex, &uSndIndex, 0); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   //free Bitmap 
   if(LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated)
