DrawPoints_MultiColor

Advanced

Module: FoundationLite

Draws points on an image with multiple colors.

Name Type Description
Input value inImage Image Input image
Input value inPoints Point2D?Array?
Input value inPointAlignment CoordinateSystem2D*
Input value inColorIds Hash?Array*
Input value inPalette PixelArray*
Input value inDrawingStyle DrawingStyle
Input value inForceRgb Bool Filter will convert monochromatic image to RGB if needed
Output value outImage Image Output image

Description

The operation draws an array of points on the inImage image using common drawing parameters for all of them. The points may exceed the image dimensions - those will be drawn partially or not at all, but the filter execution will succeed.

Hints

  • Connect an image source to the inImage input. Drawing will be done on this image.
    • If you want to draw on an empty background, use EmptyImage filter before.
  • Define inPoints. This will be the primitives to be drawn.
  • Leave inPalette and inColorIds not set to have all the primitives drawn with random colors. Set a custom palette of colors here to decide explicitly how each of the primitives should be drawn using inColorIds.
  • Set inForceRgb to True, if you want to get a 3-channel output regardless of what is on the input.
  • Set inDrawingStyle to control quality, opacity, thickness, filling, point shapes and sizes.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Bottle Inspector Part 3: Foam Detection.
