Draw Mode defines how to draw the object. The following values are valid:

Frame (0)

(Default) Specifies to use Pixel Color when tracing the contour

Paint (1)

Specifies to use Pixel Color when tracing the contour and the interior of the shape

Invert Frame (2)

Specifies to use the inverse of the pixel values when drawing the contour

Invert Paint (3)

Specifies to use the inverse of the pixel values when drawing the contour and the interior of the shape

Pixel Color is the pixel value used for tracing the design. This value is not used when in the mode Invert Frame or Invert Paint. The default is 0.

Image Src is a reference to the source image.

Image Dst is a reference to the destination image.

Coordinates is an array of four elements. A line is specified by the two points forming it. Rectangles and ovals are specified by their bounding rectangle, with the format (Left/Top/Right/Bottom). In these cases, the tracing of a rectangle or oval stops at the column (Right – 1) and at the row (Bottom – 1). The values by default are (0, 0, SizeX, SizeY) where (SizeX, SizeY) is the resolution of the image. The default is used if the input is 0 or is not connected.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Shape to draw is the form to draw. The following shapes are available:

Line (0)

(Default) Defined by the two points specified in the array Coordinates

Rectangle (1)

Defined by the bounding rectangle specified in the array Coordinates

Oval (2)

Defined by the bounding rectangle specified in the array Coordinates

Image Dst Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
