Annulus

Creates a fixtured Annulus structure.

The Annulus 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. has the following syntax:

Annulus(Image, X, Y, Theta, X, Y, InnerRadius, OuterRadius, Show)

Parameter Description

Image

This argument must reference a spreadsheet cell that contains a valid Image data structure. By default, the cell referenced is cell A1, containing the Image data structure .

Fixture A fixture is a coordinate location on the image that keeps the tool in the place determined by the fixture.

Specifies the image coordinate system in which the annulus is defined.

X

The X-offset of the image.

Y

The Y-offset of the image.

Theta

Rotation from image X-axis.

Annulus

Specifies the size and position of the annulus.

X

The X-offset, in fixture coordinates.

Y

The Y-offset, in fixture coordinates.

Inner Radius

The inner radius.

Outer Radius

The outer radius.
Note: Define parameters for the Annulus within the bounds of the image, or the function returns #ERR.

Show

Specifies the display mode for the annulus graphic overlay on the image.

0 = hide all

The annulus structure graphic is not be displayed unless the cell containing the Annulus function is highlighted in the spreadsheet.

2 = input graphics only

The annulus structure graphic is always displayed.

Returns

An Annulus data structure, or #ERR if any of the input parameters are invalid.

Results

Inserting an Annulus into a cell generates a result table in the spreadsheet with the following Structures Vision Data Access functions

Label Function Description

X

GetX(Annulus)

The X-offset of the center of the annulus, in image coordinates.

Y

GetY(Annulus)

The Y-offset of the center of the annulus, in image coordinates.

Inner Radius

GetRadius(Annulus, 0)

The inner radius of the indexed annulus.

Outer Radius

GetRadius(Annulus, 1)

The outer radius of the indexed annulus.
