GetAngles Method

NI Vision for Visual Basic

GetAngles Method

Syntax

CWIMAQVision.GetAngles XCoordinates, YCoordinates, AnglesInDegrees, AnglesInRadians [, Vertex]

Return Type

Long

On success, this method returns 0. On failure, this method returns a negative number.

Purpose

>Obsolete—Use GetAngles2 instead. Computes the angles formed by sets of four points in an image or between sets of two points and a common vertex.

Remarks

XCoordinates and YCoordinates represent an array of points. If you do not specify the vertex point, the method considers four points at a time to compute the angle. If you specify a vertex, the method computes the angle made by two consecutive points in the array and the vertex.

Parameters

XCoordinates As Variant

An array consisting of the x-coordinates of pixels for angle computation.

YCoordinates As Variant

An array consisting of the y-coordinates of pixels for angle computation.

AnglesInDegrees As Variant

On return, an array containing the computed angles in degrees.

AnglesInRadians As Variant

On return, an array containing the computed angles in radians.

Vertex As Variant

[Optional] A two-element array that specifies the coordinate of the vertex. The first element is the x coordinate, and the second element is the y coordinate. A computation without a vertex is performed if this input is not specified.
