Summary

Sets a region based on the color found at point (x,y) in the image.

Syntax

Objective-C

Java

Python

public void AddMagicWandToRegion( 
   int left, 
   int top, 
   RasterColor lowerToleranceColor, 
   RasterColor upperToleranceColor, 
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode 
)

- (BOOL)addMagicWandToRegion:(NSInteger)left  
                         top:(NSInteger)top  
         lowerToleranceColor:(LTRasterColor *)lowTolColor  
         upperToleranceColor:(LTRasterColor *)upTolColor

   int left,

   RasterColor lowerToleranceColor, 
   RasterColor upperToleranceColor, 
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode 
)

def AddMagicWandToRegion(self,left,top,lowerToleranceColor,upperToleranceColor,combineMode):

Parameters

left
X coordinate of a point. The color of the specified point will be used to set the region.

top
Y coordinate of a point. The color of the specified point will be used to set the region.

lowerToleranceColor
Lower tolerance values that set the lower stopping point for the region.

upperToleranceColor
Upper tolerance values that set the upper stopping point for the region.

combineMode
The action to take regarding the existing image region, if one is defined.

Remarks

For color bitmaps:

If the value of the pixel at (x, y) is (125, 125, 125) and lowerToleranceColor is (20,30,15), then the lower stopping point is (105, 95, 110). If upperToleranceColor is (20,30,15), then the upper stopping point is (145,155,140).

For gray scale bitmaps:

The minimum channel tolerance value of lowerToleranceColor will be used to set the lower stopping point, and the value of upperToleranceColor will be used to set the upper stopping point. For example, if the value of the pixel at (x, y) is (125, 125, 125) and lowerToleranceColor is (20,30,15), the smallest value of the triplet (15) will be used to create the lower stopping point of (110,110,110). If upperToleranceColor is (10,25,20), the smallest value of that triplet (10) will be used to create the upper stopping point of (135,135,135).

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 available in Document/Medical Imaging.

This method supports signed/unsigned data images.

To update an existing region, specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one by using the combineMode parameter. For more information, refer to RasterRegionCombineMode.

The AddMagicWandToRegion function can use the Extended Grayscale mask. For more information, refer to Grayscale Images

Example

This example will load an image, set a magic wand region to it, and fill the region with blue before saving the image back to disk
