# LatchImage

Stores (latches) an image on the specified event.

## LatchImage Inputs

Parameters | Description
Image | This argument must reference a spreadsheet cell that contains a valid Image data structure. By default, the cell referenced is cell A0, containing the AcquireImage function.
Fixture | Defines the Region of Interest (ROI) relative to a Fixture input or the output of the image coordinate system for the Vision Tools function. Setting the ROI relative to a Fixture ensures that if the Fixture is rotated or translated, the ROI is rotated or translated in relation to the Fixture. Note: 2D projections use real world units but fixturing with 2D tools requires input in pixel values. When using a 2D projection from a 3D point cloud as a Fixture, convert the real world units to pixel values using the TransWorldToPixel function. The default setting is (0,0,0), the top leftmost corner of the image.
X | Specifies the X-offset, in image coordinates.
Y | Specifies the Y-offset, in image coordinates.
Theta | Specifies the orientation, in image coordinates.
Region | Also known as the Region of Interest (ROI), specifies the region of the image that undergoes image processing, and creates a Region that can be transformed and rotated. With this parameter selected, pressing the button automatically stretches the region to cover the entire image.
X | Specifies the X-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Y | Specifies the Y-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Width | Specifies the dimension along the X-axis of the region.
Height | Specifies the dimension along the Y-axis of the region.
Angle | Specifies the orientation, in fixture coordinates.
Note: The Fixture and Region parameters must be defined within the bounds of the image. Otherwise, the function returns #ERR.
Event | Specifies the update event on which to store the image. This parameter must be a reference to one of the following: The Image data structure in cell A0, containing the AcquireImage function. A cell containing a Button function.
Colorize | Only relevant for color images. When disabled, the latched image is converted to greyscale, otherwise it remains colorful.
0 = Disabled (default)
1 = Enabled
Show | Specifies which graphical overlays are displayed on top of the image.
0 = hide all (default) | The available graphics items are hidden except when the cell containing the function is the active cell in the spreadsheet. Note: If the input region changes, a second region is displayed, indicating where the latching occurs on the next specified event.
1 = results graphics only | The processed image is always displayed.
2 = input graphics only | The graphics items associated with the input image region are always displayed.

## LatchImage Outputs

Returns | A LatchImage data structure with the image stored on the last event.
