Header: | FIL.h |
---|---|
Namespace: | fil |
Module: | FoundationLite |
Transforms a point to a coordinate system in which the 'axis' arc is vertical or horizontal.
Applications: Usually used to revert an ImageAlongArc transformation.
Syntax
void fil::PointAlongArc ( const fil::Point2D& inPoint, const fil::Arc2D& inAxis, fil::Axis::Type inAxisType, float inAxisCoordinate, bool inInverse, fil::Point2D& outPoint )
Parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
inPoint | const Point2D& | Input point | |
![]() |
inAxis | const Arc2D& | Input axis arc | |
![]() |
inAxisType | Axis::Type | Y | Type of axis the input axis arc is parallel to |
![]() |
inAxisCoordinate | float | 0.0f | Coordinate of the axis arc |
![]() |
inInverse | bool | True | Switches to the inverse operation |
![]() |
outPoint | Point2D& | Transformed point |
Description
This operation transforms a point - inPoint - between two coordinate systems: the one linked with 'axis' arc inAxis and the original one. Direction of this conversion is based on inInverse value:
- if it is true, inPoint is converted to original coordinate system
- if it is false, inPoint is converted from original coordinate system
Coordinate system linked with inAxis is some transformation of the original one, satisfying these conditions:
- 'axis' arc is represented as a straight line
- 'axis' arc is horizontal if inAxisType is set to X or vertical if inAxisType is set to Y
- if inAxisType is set to X, the Y coordinate of 'axis' arc is equal to inAxisCoordinate. If inAxisType is set to Y, the X coordinate of 'axis' arc is equal to inAxisCoordinate
Hints
- If this filter is used to reverse ImageAlongArc transformation you should set inAxis and inAxisType to the same values as corresponding ones in ImageAlongArc. inAxisCoordinate should be set to a half of ImageAlongArc.inScanWidth.

ImageAlongArc performed on the sample image with inAxisType = X and inScanWidth = 50. Point marked with green cross on the output image was calculated by ScanSingleEdge. Original point (marked with blue cross) was calculated using PointAlongArc with inAxisType = X, inAxisCoordinate = 25, inInverse = true and position of detected point. ImageAlongArc and PointAlongArc used the same arc for transformations.
