Declaration

TIEMask = class;

Description

Contains a selection, which is a map of selected and unselected pixels.
A selection map can have a depth of 1 bit or 8 bit.
For a map of 1 bit, 0 is a non-selected pixel, while 1 is selected.
For a map of 8 bit, 0 is non-selected pixel, 1-254 is a "semi" selected pixel, and 255 is fully selected pixel.


TImageEnView component uses this class to store current selection in SelectionMask property.

Examples

// Select points 50,50 and 55,55
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel(50, 50, 1);
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel(55, 55, 1);
ImageEnView1.SelectCustom();


// Exclude pixel 100,100 from selection
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel(100, 100, 0);
ImageEnView.SelectCustom();


// Create a new selection using only SelectionMask (this selects points 50,50 and 55,55)
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel(50, 50, 1);
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel(55, 55, 1);
ImageEnView1.SelectCustom();


// Load an image to the selection mask and fill with yellow
bmp := TIEBitmap.Create();

// Download this mask image from www.ImageEn.com/Screenshots/IEHelp/Mask.png
bmp.LoadFromFile( 'D:\Mask.png' );


// Set Mask depth to 8bpp, assign and scale it
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.BitsPerPixel := 8;
ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.Assign( bmp, True );
ImageEnView1.SelectCustom();
bmp.Free();


ImageEnView1.Proc.Fill( $0055E6FF );



// 8-Bit Example
// Make a gradient selection (increasing from unselected to fully selected along height of image)
// Then convert selection to gray scale
ImageEnView1.Deselect();
ImageEnView1.SelectionMaskDepth := 8;
for Y := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height - 1 do
  for X := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width - 1 do
  begin
    selIntensity := Round( Y / ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height * 255 );
    ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel( X, Y, selIntensity );
  end;
ImageEnView1.SelectCustom();


ImageEnView1.Proc.ConvertToGray();
ImageEnView1.Deselect();



// 1-Bit Example
// Turn image into chessboard pattern
ImageEnView1.Deselect();
ImageEnView1.SelectionMaskDepth := 1;
for Y := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height - 1 do
  for X := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width - 1 do
  begin

      sel := True
    else
      sel := False;
    if y div SQUARE_SIZE mod 2 = 0 then
      sel := not sel;

    if sel then
      ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel( X, Y, 1 )
    else
      ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.SetPixel( X, Y, 0 );
  end;
ImageEnView1.SelectCustom();


ImageEnView1.Proc.ConvertToGray();
ImageEnView1.Deselect();



// Select all pixels that are blue or green (SelectionMaskDepth=1)
for y := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height - 1 do
  for x := 0 to ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width - 1 do
  begin
    color := ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Pixels[x, y];
    if ( color = clBlue ) or ( color = clGreen ) then
    begin
      ImageEnView.SelectionMask.SetPixel(X, Y, 1);
      ImageEnView.SelectCustom();
    end;
  end;
