Detailed Description

image

This figure explains new functionality implemented with Qt* GUI. The new GUI provides a statusbar, a toolbar, and a control panel. The control panel can have trackbars and buttonbars attached to it. If you cannot see the control panel, press Ctrl+P or right-click any Qt window and select Display properties window.

• To attach a trackbar, the window name parameter must be NULL.
• To attach a buttonbar, a button must be created. If the last bar attached to the control panel is a buttonbar, the new button is added to the right of the last button. If the last bar attached to the control panel is a trackbar, or the control panel is empty, a new buttonbar is created. Then, a new button is attached to it.

See below the example used to generate the figure: :

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    int value = 50;
    int value2 = 0;

    cvNamedWindow("main1",CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);
    cvNamedWindow("main2",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE | CV_GUI_NORMAL);

    cvCreateTrackbar( "track1", "main1", &value, 255,  NULL);//OK tested
    char* nameb1 = "button1";
    char* nameb2 = "button2";
    cvCreateButton(nameb1,callbackButton,nameb1,CV_CHECKBOX,1);

    cvCreateButton(nameb2,callbackButton,nameb2,CV_CHECKBOX,0);
    cvCreateTrackbar( "track2", NULL, &value2, 255, NULL);
    cvCreateButton("button5",callbackButton1,NULL,CV_RADIOBOX,0);
    cvCreateButton("button6",callbackButton2,NULL,CV_RADIOBOX,1);

    cvSetMouseCallback( "main2",on_mouse,NULL );

    IplImage* img1 = cvLoadImage("files/flower.jpg");
    IplImage* img2 = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(img1),8,3);
    CvCapture* video = cvCaptureFromFile("files/hockey.avi");
    IplImage* img3 = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(cvQueryFrame(video)),8,3);

    while(cvWaitKey(33) != 27)
    {
        cvAddS(img1,cvScalarAll(value),img2);
        cvAddS(cvQueryFrame(video),cvScalarAll(value2),img3);
        cvShowImage("main1",img2);
        cvShowImage("main2",img3);
    }

    cvDestroyAllWindows();
    cvReleaseImage(&img1);
    cvReleaseImage(&img2);
    cvReleaseImage(&img3);
    cvReleaseCapture(&video);
    return 0;
}

Function Documentation

void cv::addText	(	const Mat &	img,
		const String &	text,
		Point	org,
		const QtFont &	font
	)

Creates the font to draw a text on an image.

Parameters

img	8-bit 3-channel image where the text should be drawn.
text	Text to write on an image.
org	Point(x,y) where the text should start on an image.
font	Font to use to draw a text.

The function addText draws text on an image img using a specific font font (see example fontQt )

int cv::createButton	(	const String &	bar_name,
		ButtonCallback	on_change,
		void *	userdata = 0,
		int	type = QT_PUSH_BUTTON,
		bool	initial_button_state = false
	)

Attaches a button to the control panel.

Parameters

bar_name	Name of the button.
on_change	Pointer to the function to be called every time the button changes its state. This function should be prototyped as void Foo(int state,*void); . state is the current state of the button. It could be -1 for a push button, 0 or 1 for a check/radio box button.
userdata	Pointer passed to the callback function.
type	Optional type of the button. CV_PUSH_BUTTON Push button CV_CHECKBOX Checkbox button CV_RADIOBOX Radiobox button. The radiobox on the same buttonbar (same line) are exclusive, that is only one can be selected at a time.
initial_button_state	Default state of the button. Use for checkbox and radiobox. Its value could be 0 or 1. *(Optional)*

The function createButton attaches a button to the control panel. Each button is added to a buttonbar to the right of the last button. A new buttonbar is created if nothing was attached to the control panel before, or if the last element attached to the control panel was a trackbar.

See below various examples of the createButton function call: :

createButton(NULL,callbackButton);//create a push button "button 0", that will call callbackButton.
createButton("button2",callbackButton,NULL,CV_CHECKBOX,0);
createButton("button3",callbackButton,&value);
createButton("button5",callbackButton1,NULL,CV_RADIOBOX);
createButton("button6",callbackButton2,NULL,CV_PUSH_BUTTON,1);

void cv::displayOverlay	(	const String &	winname,
		const String &	text,
		int	delayms = 0
	)

Displays a text on a window image as an overlay for a specified duration.

Parameters

winname	Name of the window.
text	Overlay text to write on a window image.
delayms	The period (in milliseconds), during which the overlay text is displayed. If this function is called before the previous overlay text timed out, the timer is restarted and the text is updated. If this value is zero, the text never disappears.

The function displayOverlay displays useful information/tips on top of the window for a certain amount of time delayms. The function does not modify the image, displayed in the window, that is, after the specified delay the original content of the window is restored.

void cv::displayStatusBar	(	const String &	winname,
		const String &	text,
		int	delayms = 0
	)

Displays a text on the window statusbar during the specified period of time.

Parameters

winname	Name of the window.
text	Text to write on the window statusbar.
delayms	Duration (in milliseconds) to display the text. If this function is called before the previous text timed out, the timer is restarted and the text is updated. If this value is zero, the text never disappears.

The function displayOverlay displays useful information/tips on top of the window for a certain amount of time delayms . This information is displayed on the window statusbar (the window must be created with the CV_GUI_EXPANDED flags).

QtFont cv::fontQt	(	const String &	nameFont,
		int	pointSize = -1,
		Scalar	color = Scalar::all(0),
		int	weight = QT_FONT_NORMAL,
		int	style = QT_STYLE_NORMAL,
		int	spacing = 0
	)

Creates the font to draw a text on an image.

Parameters

nameFont	Name of the font. The name should match the name of a system font (such as Times*). If the font is not found, a default one is used.
pointSize	Size of the font. If not specified, equal zero or negative, the point size of the font is set to a system-dependent default value. Generally, this is 12 points.
color	Color of the font in BGRA where A = 255 is fully transparent. Use the macro CV _ RGB for simplicity.
weight	Font weight. The following operation flags are available: CV_FONT_LIGHT Weight of 25 CV_FONT_NORMAL Weight of 50 CV_FONT_DEMIBOLD Weight of 63 CV_FONT_BOLD Weight of 75 CV_FONT_BLACK Weight of 87

You can also specify a positive integer for better control.

Parameters

style	Font style. The following operation flags are available: CV_STYLE_NORMAL Normal font CV_STYLE_ITALIC Italic font CV_STYLE_OBLIQUE Oblique font
spacing	Spacing between characters. It can be negative or positive.

The function fontQt creates a CvFont object. This CvFont is not compatible with putText .

A basic usage of this function is the following: :

CvFont font = fontQt(''Times'');
addText( img1, ``Hello World !'', Point(50,50), font);

void cv::loadWindowParameters

(

const String &

windowName

)

Loads parameters of the specified window.

Parameters

Name of the window.

The function loadWindowParameters loads size, location, flags, trackbars value, zoom and panning location of the window window_name .

void cv::saveWindowParameters

(

const String &

windowName

)

Saves parameters of the specified window.

Parameters

windowName

Name of the window.

The function saveWindowParameters saves size, location, flags, trackbars value, zoom and panning location of the window window_name .
