SelectParticles Method
Syntax
CWIMAQVision.SelectParticles ParticleSelectionData, ParticleReport [, SourceImage] [, RejectBorderParticles]
Return Type
On success, this method returns 0. On failure, this method returns a negative number.
Purpose
Obsolete Returns a selection of particle measurements in reports from BasicParticle or Particle based on a minimum and maximum criteria. SelectParticles allows you to choose which measurements you want to obtain from a particle-detection process.
Remarks
Use this method with U8 images.
Parameters
ParticleSelectionData As CWIMAQParticleSelectionData
The criteria used to select the particles you want to keep. Any particle not meeting the criteria is removed from the ParticleReport. The actual parameters that you can specify in the ParticleSelectionData parameter are determined based on whether you pass a CWIMAQBasicParticleReport object or a CWIMAQFullParticleReport object for the ParticleReport parameter.
ParticleReport As Object
Either a CWIMAQBasicParticleReport object or a CWIMAQFullParticleReport object. CWIMAQBasicParticleReport is the output of measurements from CWIMAQVision.BasicParticle. CWIMAQFullParticleReport is the output of measurements from CWIMAQVision.Particle.
SourceImage As Variant
[Optional] The reference to the same source image used to measure the particle coefficients by BasicParticle or Particle. This input is required when RejectBorderParticles is set to True, a case in which particles touching the border are discarded for measurement calculations. This input is not required and is ignored when RejectBorder is set to False.
RejectBorderParticles As Variant
[Optional] Determines whether particles touching the border should be measured. If True, the measurements for particles touching the border are rejected. In this case, you must supply the SourceImage.
Example
Private Sub Run_Click()
Dim report1 As New CWIMAQFullParticleReport
Dim report2 As New CWIMAQParticleSelectionData
'Generate Particle Report
CWIMAQVision1.Particle CWIMAQViewer1.Image, report1
' Filter the report so that it only contains particles with an
' area between 100 and 200 pixels
report2.Add
report2(1).Parameter = cwimaqParticleArea ' area parameter
report2(1).Range.Min = 100 ' 100 is the min area
report2(1).Range.Max = 200 ' 200 is the max area
CWIMAQVision1.SelectParticles report2, report1
