Detailed Description

Class for iterating over all pixels on a raster line segment.

The class LineIterator is used to get each pixel of a raster line connecting two specified points. It can be treated as a versatile implementation of the Bresenham algorithm where you can stop at each pixel and do some extra processing, for example, grab pixel values along the line or draw a line with an effect (for example, with XOR operation).

The number of pixels along the line is stored in LineIterator::count. The method LineIterator::pos returns the current position in the image:

// grabs pixels along the line (pt1, pt2)
// from 8-bit 3-channel image to the buffer
LineIterator it(img, pt1, pt2, 8);
LineIterator it2 = it;
vector<Vec3b> buf(it.count);
 
for(int i = 0; i < it.count; i++, ++it)
    buf[i] = *(const Vec3b*)*it;
 
// alternative way of iterating through the line
for(int i = 0; i < it2.count; i++, ++it2)
{
    Vec3b val = img.at<Vec3b>(it2.pos());
    CV_Assert(buf[i] == val);
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LineIterator() [1/4]

cv::LineIterator::LineIterator ( const Mat &  img, Point  pt1, Point  pt2, int  connectivity = 8, bool  leftToRight = false  )

inline

Initializes iterator object for the given line and image.

The returned iterator can be used to traverse all pixels on a line that connects the given two points. The line will be clipped on the image boundaries.

Parameters

img	Underlying image.
pt1	First endpoint of the line.
pt2	The other endpoint of the line.
connectivity	Pixel connectivity of the iterator. Valid values are 4 (iterator can move up, down, left and right) and 8 (iterator can also move diagonally).
leftToRight	If true, the line is traversed from the leftmost endpoint to the rightmost endpoint. Otherwise, the line is traversed from pt1 to pt2.
