Example 1

Artificial Cube as input.

Description

This example shows how the Outline application draws boundaries around contiguous pixels.

Command Line

outline IN=in.cub OUT=out.cub BOUNDARY=255 CLEAR=False EDGES=True
This will set the borders around the contiguous pixels to 255 and will leave the pixels contained within the regions at their original value.

Input Image

Input artificial cube.

Input image for outline

Parameter Name: FROM

This is the 800 by 800 input image for the outline example. This is an artificial cube for the sake of demonstration.

Output Image

Output image clearly demonstrating the boundaries created by Outline.

Output image for outline

Parameter Name: TO

This is the 800 by 800 output image demonstrating the results of Outline. White lines (DN = 255) mark the boundaries between contiguous pixels. This is with Clear=False, Edges=True and Boundary=255.
