select_obj ( Objects : ObjectSelected : Index : )

Select an object from an object tuple.

select_obj copies the iconic object with index Index (starting with 1) from the iconic input object tuple Objects to the output object ObjectSelected. No new storage is allocated for the regions and images. Instead, new objects containing references to the existing objects are created. The number of objects in an object tuple can be queried with the operator count_obj.


Parameters

Objects (input_object)
object(-array) -> object
Objects, of which one is to be selected.

ObjectSelected (output_object)
object -> object
Selected object.

Index (input_control)
integer -> integer
Index of the object to be selected.
Default value: 1
Suggested values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000
Typical range of values: 1 <= Index


Example
/* Access to all Regions */

count_obj(Regions,&Num);
for (i=1; i<=Num; i++)
{
  select_obj(Regions,&Single,i);
  T_get_region_polygon(Single,5.0,&Row,&Column);
  T_disp_polygon(WindowHandleTuple,Row,Column);
  destroy_tuple(Row);
  destroy_tuple(Column);
  clear_obj(Single);
}

Complexity

Runtime complexity: O(|Objects|


Result

select_obj returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if all objects are contained in the HALCON database and all parameters are correct. If the input is empty the behavior can be set via set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:). If necessary, an exception is raised.


Parallelization Information

select_obj is reentrant and processed without parallelization.
