GWireCommand Class

Summary

Performs semi-automatic segmentation by creating minimal paths that follow the boundaries of the objects in the image.

Syntax

C++

public class GWireCommand : System.IDisposable

Public Class GWireCommand  
   Implements System.IDisposable

public ref class GWireCommand : public System.IDisposable

Remarks

This command is useful when extracting objects from an image. It works by constructing a minimal path between two input points (the seed and the target points) that follows the edges of the image's objects.
The returned minimal paths can be used to create a region that covers the object of interest.
If the image contains a region the region is ignored. The GWireCommand works on the entire image.
This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. (Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is only available in the Document/Medical Imaging toolkits.)
This command does not support signed images.
