IG_REC_image_area

Clears a rectangular area of the hImage image in the recognition engine's memory space.

Declaration:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_REC_image_area_clear( HIG_REC_IMAGE hImage, LPCRECT pRect );

Arguments:

hImage	Handle of the image to be modified.
pRect	Coordinates of the rectangular area to be cleared by setting all of its bits to zero (0). A NULL value means the entire image.

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Remarks:

With a bi-tonal image, setting all its bits to zero (0) results in an entirely white image. In other cases (but not for palette-color images), the resulting image is entirely black.

Example:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ErrCount = 0; HIGEAR higImage = 0; HIG_REC_IMAGE higRecImage = 0; AT_RECT Rect; Rect.left = 1; Rect.right = 101; Rect.top = 1; Rect.bottom = 101; ErrCount += IG_load_file("Image.tif", &higImage); ErrCount += IG_REC_image_import(higImage, &higRecImage); ErrCount += IG_REC_image_area_clear(higRecImage, &Rect); //... ErrCount += IG_REC_image_delete(higRecImage); ErrCount += IG_image_delete(higImage);

Copy Code

AT_ERRCOUNT ErrCount = 0;
HIGEAR higImage = 0;
HIG_REC_IMAGE higRecImage = 0;
AT_RECT Rect;

Rect.left = 1;
Rect.right = 101;
Rect.top = 1;
Rect.bottom = 101;
ErrCount += IG_load_file("Image.tif", &higImage); 
ErrCount += IG_REC_image_import(higImage, &higRecImage);
ErrCount += IG_REC_image_area_clear(higRecImage, &Rect); 

//...

ErrCount += IG_REC_image_delete(higRecImage);
ErrCount += IG_image_delete(higImage);
