Extrema Result 

 

Extrema Result 

Runtime only 

 

Applies To 

Vision Objects: Blob 

 

Description 

Returns the blob extrema coordinates. 

 

Usage 

VGet  

Sequence.Object.

Extrema 

[(

result

)]

,

 

varMinX, varMaxX, varMinY, varMaxY

 

Sequence

  Name of a sequence or string variable containing a sequence name. 

Object

 

Name of an object or string variable containing an object name.  The object must exist in the 
specified sequence. 

varMinX

 

Real variable containing minimum X position of the blob's Extrema. 

varMaxX

 

Real variable containing maximum X position of the blob's Extrema. 

varMinY

 

Real variable containing minimum Y position of the blob's Extrema. 

varMaxY

 

Real variable containing maximum Y position of the blob's Extrema. 

result

 

Optional result number.  If omitted, the result number is the CurrentResult.  Used for objects 
that return multiple results. 

 

Values 

The values returned are always in pixels and may be from 1 - video height. 

 

Remarks 

The MinX, MaxX, MinY, and MaxY results together define a blob's smallest enclosing rectangle that is 
aligned with the coordinate axes and completely encloses the blob.  This rectangle is known as the extrema.  
The Extrema result enables you to retrieve all four coordinates in one command. 

The Extrema value can be fractional.  For example, 100.5 would be between the 100 and 101 pixels.
