overplotting lines over images [message #7401] Wed, 13 November 1996 00:00 Go to next message

I want to overplot lines over an image. The way I'd like it is to OR
it, in the sense that the line is dark over light parts and light over
dark parts. Thought that I've seen that written or mentioned somewhere,
but cannot find anything in the manual.

Did anyone deal with this before?

tia,

The solution I adopted was to use the
device,get_graphics_function=foo,set_graphics_function=xxx

as was suggested to me by Tim ???

thanks again

device, get_graphics_function = oldgr
device, set_graphics_function = 6 ; GXxor
plot, .... ; plot your lines here
device, set_graphics_function = oldgr ; set it back

Typically "oldgr" = 3, which is GXcopy.
See the help for more details.

You have to change the graphics mode to XOR mode, draw stuff, and
then restore the old graphics mode:

wset, my_window
color = !d.table_size - 1
device, get_graphics = oldg, set_graphics = 6
plots, [x1,x2], [y1,y2], /noclip, /device, color = color
device, set_graphics = oldg

You can later "erase" the line by doing the same commands again.

Hope this helps.

one possibility: to draw a line from [x1,y1] to [x2,y2] get the x and y
indices which that line segment would cover in your image, e.g. using
linepts from the jhu library. Now modify all the pixel values in a copy of
your original image to do what you want and display it:

cpy = image ; make copy
linepts, x1, y1, x2, y2, jx, jy ; get pixel indices of line segment
cpy(jx,jy) = max(image)-image(jx,jy) ; invert pixels along that line
tvscl cpy ; and display

Hope this helps,

Christian
