Description

dev_open_windowdev_open_windowDevOpenWindowDevOpenWindowdev_open_window opens a new graphics window, which can be used to display iconic objects like images, regions, and lines as well as to perform textual output. This window automatically becomes active, which means that all output (dev_displaydev_displayDevDisplayDevDisplaydev_display and automatic display of operator results) is redirected to this window. This is shown by the lucent lamp on the Active button.

Each graphics window is identified by its WindowHandleWindowHandleWindowHandlewindowHandlewindow_handle. This logical number is displayed in the title bar of the graphics window and is required as input parameter for some operators like disp_imagedisp_imageDispImageDispImagedisp_image, disp_regiondisp_regionDispRegionDispRegiondisp_region, draw_circledraw_circleDrawCircleDrawCircledraw_circle, get_mbuttonget_mbuttonGetMbuttonGetMbuttonget_mbutton, write_stringwrite_stringWriteStringWriteStringwrite_string, and set_rgbset_rgbSetRgbSetRgbset_rgb.

The graphics window is closed by pressing the Close button of the window frame, via the Visualization menu, or by calling dev_close_windowdev_close_windowDevCloseWindowDevCloseWindowdev_close_window.

Graphics Window Position

By default, the graphics window opens within the canvas window. If this is not desired, select Restore Default Layout use -> Docked Graphics Window from the Window menu in HDevelop. See also “Canvas Window” in the “HDevelop User's Guide”.

The parameters RowRowRowrowrow and ColumnColumnColumncolumncolumn are used to pass the position of the window. Its reference point (0, 0) on the canvas is visualized by a cross.

For floating windows, the reference point is by default the upper left corner of the HDevelop main window. You can change this reference point, so that, for example, the graphics window position aligns with the upper left corner of the screen. To do so, open the HDevelop preferences and choose the desired Origin of coordinates under General options.

Moreover, you can adapt the window position via the setting Window open offset. These offset values are added to the row and the column index, respectively. See also “Menu Window open offset” in the “HDevelop User's Guide”.

Graphics Window Visualization

The background of the created graphics window is set to the color specified in BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundbackgroundbackground. This parameter is not available for the operator open_windowopen_windowOpenWindowOpenWindowopen_window. There, the same behavior can be achieved by calling set_window_attr(::'background_color',Background:)set_window_attr("background_color",Background)SetWindowAttr("background_color",Background)SetWindowAttr("background_color",Background)set_window_attr("background_color",Background) in advance.

As a default, the visible image part in the graphics window (viewport) is set in a way that images are displayed without clipping and fitted completely into the window. The image part is adapted to the window's size according to this rule for the first image that is displayed after a program reset or the loading of a new program or if the current image has a different image size than the image that was displayed before. The size of the window is not adapted automatically, hence, if the aspect ratio of the image differs from that of the window, the image is distorted to fit into the window. This can be changed via the Window Size menu.

The visible image part can be changed interactively by spinning the mouse wheel, using the Move or Zoom mode, via the Image Size menu, with the help of the Zoom tab card on the Visualization Parameters dialog, or with the operator dev_set_partdev_set_partDevSetPartDevSetPartdev_set_part.

The display parameters of the graphics window can be specified via its context menu, the Visualization menu, the Visualization Parameters dialog, or the appropriate HDevelop operators like dev_set_colordev_set_colorDevSetColorDevSetColordev_set_color, dev_set_line_widthdev_set_line_widthDevSetLineWidthDevSetLineWidthdev_set_line_width, dev_set_drawdev_set_drawDevSetDrawDevSetDrawdev_set_draw. Depending on the Apply Immediately preference, the parameter changes are applied to the lastly displayed object or apply from now on for all following objects. In contrast to the standard HALCON window operators, the new settings are also used for all new graphics windows.

Graphics Window History

Each graphics window manages a history that contains the

that have been displayed or changed since the most recent clear action or display of a full image. This history is used if a redraw of the window is triggered, e.g., after a change of the window's size, in order to reconstruct the complete window contents. Other iconic output that was displayed using HALCON operators like disp_imagedisp_imageDispImageDispImagedisp_image or disp_regiondisp_regionDispRegionDispRegiondisp_region, text (write_stringwrite_stringWriteStringWriteStringwrite_string), or geometric objects (disp_linedisp_lineDispLineDispLinedisp_line, disp_circledisp_circleDispCircleDispCircledisp_circle, etc.) are not part of the history, and can therefore not be redrawn. Only the object classes image, region, and XLD that are displayed with the HDevelop operator dev_displaydev_displayDevDisplayDevDisplaydev_display or by HDevelop actions like double clicking on an icon are part of the history.

Pressing the Clear button clears the graphics window contents and the history of the window. This can also be achieved by using the operator dev_clear_windowdev_clear_windowDevClearWindowDevClearWindowdev_clear_window. This will not affect the current display parameters.

Attention

Using the code export feature of HDevelop, the code that is generated for this operator may have a different behavior than the related HALCON operator. For a detailed description of the code export of HDevelop graphics operators into the different programming languages, in the “HDevelop User's Guide”, see the chapter Code Export -> General Aspects of Code Generation -> Graphics Windows.
