gen_random_region — Create a random region.
gen_random_region( : RegionRandom : Width, Height : )
The operator gen_random_region returns a random region.
During this process every pixel in the image area
[0...Width-1][0...Height-1] is adapted into the region with
the probability 0.5.
The created region can be imagined as the
threshold formation in an image with noise.
This procedure is particularly important for the creation of uncorrelated binary patterns. The random pattern is created by the C function “nrand48()”.
If Width and Height are chosen large
(> 100) the created region may require much storage space due to
the internally used runlength coding.
The gray values of the output region are undefined.
Width (input_control) extent.x → (integer)
Maximum horizontal expansion of random region.
Default value: 128
Suggested values: 16, 32, 50, 64, 100, 128, 256, 300, 400, 512
Typical range of values: 1

Height (input_control) extent.y → (integer)
Maximum vertical expansion of random region.
Default value: 128
Suggested values: 16, 32, 50, 64, 100, 128, 256, 300, 400, 512

The worst case for the storage complexity for the created region (in byte) is: O(Width * Height * 2).
If the parameter values are correct, the operator gen_random_region
returns the value TRUE.
Otherwise an exception is raised.
The clipping according to the current image format is set via the
operator set_system('clip_region',<'2 (H_MSG_TRUE)'/'3 (H_MSG_FALSE)'>).
