# Colorize

Colorizes a grayscale image. The color palette is the same as in the 3D view. Returns an Image data structure.

Inputs

Setting | 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 Image data structure returned by the AcquireImage function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications..
Fixture A fixture is a coordinate location on the image that keeps the tool in the place determined by the 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 A point cloud is a 3D structure that consists of the data points collected by a 3D vision system during acquisition. as a Fixture, convert the real world units to pixel values using the TransWorldToPixel function. Note: Angles must be multiplied by -1, due to image space differences. The default setting is (0,0,0), the top leftmost corner of the image.
X | The X-offset, in image coordinates.
Y | The Y-offset, in image coordinates.
Theta | The rotation from the image X-axis, in the image coordinate system. (+/-360 degrees clockwise)
Region | Also known as the Region of Interest (ROI), specifies the region of the image that undergoes analysis. Double-click on the Region parameter to create an Interactive Graphics Mode that you can transform and rotate. Select this parameter and press the Maximize Region button under Edit in the property sheet toolbar to automatically stretch the region to cover the entire image.
X | The X-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Y | The Y-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Width | The dimension along the Y-axis of the region.
Height | The dimension along the X-axis of the region.
Angle | The orientation, in fixture coordinates.
Show | Selects the type of graphics to overlay on the image.
0 = hide all (default) | All graphics are hidden, except when the cell containing the function is highlighted in the spreadsheet.
1 = result graphics only | The result graphics of the function are displayed at all times.
2 = input and result graphics | The region of interest, the input data and the results are displayed at all times.

Outputs

Returns | An Image data structure.
