smallest_rectangle1_xld ( XLD : : : Row1, Column1, Row2, Column2 )

Enclosing rectangle parallel to the coordinate axes.

The operator smallest_rectangle1_xld calculates the enclosing rectangle for each input contour (parallel to the coordinate axes). The enclosing rectangle is described by the coordinates of the corner pixels (Row1,Column1,Row2,Column2)

If more than one contour is passed in XLD, the results are stored in tuples, the index of a value in the tuple corresponding to the index of a contour in the input. In case of an empty contour all parameters have the value 0 if no other behavior was set (see set_system).


Attention

In case of empty contours the result of Row1,Column1, Row2 and Column2 (all are 0) can lead to confusion.


Parameters

XLD (input_object)
xld(-array) -> object
Contour(s) to be examined.

Row1 (output_control)
rectangle.origin.y(-array) -> real
Row coordinate of upper left corner point of the enclosing rectangle.

Column1 (output_control)
rectangle.origin.x(-array) -> real
Column coordinate of upper left corner point of the enclosing rectangle.

Row2 (output_control)
rectangle.corner.y(-array) -> real
Row coordinate of lower right corner point of the enclosing rectangle.

Column2 (output_control)
rectangle.corner.x(-array) -> real
Column coordinate of lower right corner point of the enclosing rectangle.


Complexity

If N is the number of contour points, the runtime complexity is O(N).


Result

smallest_rectangle1_xld returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. 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

smallest_rectangle1_xld is reentrant and automatically parallelized (on tuple level).
