Name

break — Terminate loop execution.

Synopsis

Example

threshold (Image, Region, 160, 180)
connection (Region, Regions)
Number := |Regions|
AllRegionsValid := 1
* check if for all regions area <=30
for i := 1 to Number by 1
  ObjectSelected := Regions[i]
  area_center (ObjectSelected, Area, Row, Column)
  if (Area > 30)
    AllRegionsValid := 0
    break
  endif
endfor

Result

break (as operators) always returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).
