CogGeneralContour.MergeContours Method

CogGeneralContour MergeContours Method

Cognex VisionPro 9.8

Returns a new contour that is the result of merging OtherContour into this before NextSegment. StartFlags and EndFlags control how OtherContour's start and end segments connect to this contour's segments in the merged contour.

Parameters

nextSegment: Type: Cognex.VisionPro CogGeneralContourSegmentIterator
The segment before which otherContour is merged into this contour.

otherContour: Type: Cognex.VisionPro CogGeneralContour
The contour to merge into this contour.

startFlags: Type: Cognex.VisionPro CogGeneralContourVertexConstants
Flags that specify how the otherContour's start point is treated with respect to the segments in this contour.

endFlags: Type: Cognex.VisionPro CogGeneralContourVertexConstants
Flags that specify how the otherContour's end point is treated with respect to the segments in this contour.

copyFlags: Type: Cognex.VisionPro CogCopyShapeConstants
Specify which attributes of the contour to copy to the new contour.

Return Value

Type: CogGeneralContour

The new contour.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	otherContour is Nothing.
CogIteratorInvalidIteratorException	nextSegment is invalid and not the end segment.
ArgumentException	startFlags or endFlags include bits that are not defined in CogGeneralContourVertexConstants.
CogShapeBadContourChainClosureException	endFlags include Closed but startFlags do not include Connected ; or startFlags include Closed but endFlags do not include Connected. This error may also occur if the startFlags and endFlags are set properly but closing the chain would create a contour with only two segments.

Remarks

Returns a new contour that is the result of merging otherContour into this contour before nextSegment. If nextSegment is Nothing, the segments from otherContour are copied onto the end of this contour. startFlags and endFlags control how otherContour's start and end segments connect to this contour's segments in the merged contour.
