Detailed Description

Drawing functions work with matrices/images of arbitrary depth. The boundaries of the shapes can be rendered with antialiasing (implemented only for 8-bit images for now). All the functions include the parameter color that uses an RGB value (that may be constructed with the Scalar constructor ) for color images and brightness for grayscale images. For color images, the channel ordering is normally Blue, Green, Red. This is what imshow, imread, and imwrite expect. So, if you form a color using the Scalar constructor, it should look like:

\[\texttt{Scalar} (blue \_ component, green \_ component, red \_ component[, alpha \_ component])\]

If you are using your own image rendering and I/O functions, you can use any channel ordering. The drawing functions process each channel independently and do not depend on the channel order or even on the used color space. The whole image can be converted from BGR to RGB or to a different color space using cvtColor .

If a drawn figure is partially or completely outside the image, the drawing functions clip it. Also, many drawing functions can handle pixel coordinates specified with sub-pixel accuracy. This means that the coordinates can be passed as fixed-point numbers encoded as integers. The number of fractional bits is specified by the shift parameter and the real point coordinates are calculated as \(\texttt{Point}(x,y)\rightarrow\texttt{Point2f}(x*2^{-shift},y*2^{-shift})\) . This feature is especially effective when rendering antialiased shapes.

Note
The functions do not support alpha-transparency when the target image is 4-channel. In this case, the color[3] is simply copied to the repainted pixels. Thus, if you want to paint semi-transparent shapes, you can paint them in a separate buffer and then blend it with the main image.

◆ drawContours()

void cv::drawContours ( InputOutputArray  image,
InputArrayOfArrays  contours,
int  contourIdx,
const Scalar color,
int  thickness = 1,
int  lineType = LINE_8,
InputArray  hierarchy = noArray(),
int  maxLevel = INT_MAX,
Point  offset = Point() 
)
Python:
image=cv.drawContours(image, contours, contourIdx, color[, thickness[, lineType[, hierarchy[, maxLevel[, offset]]]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

Draws contours outlines or filled contours.

The function draws contour outlines in the image if \(\texttt{thickness} \ge 0\) or fills the area bounded by the contours if \(\texttt{thickness}<0\) . The example below shows how to retrieve connected components from the binary image and label them: :

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
Mat src;
// the first command-line parameter must be a filename of the binary
// (black-n-white) image
if( argc != 2 || !(src=imread(argv[1], 0)).data)
return -1;
Mat dst = Mat::zeros(src.rows, src.cols, CV_8UC3);
src = src > 1;
namedWindow( "Source", 1 );
imshow( "Source", src );
vector<vector<Point> > contours;
vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;
findContours( src, contours, hierarchy,
// iterate through all the top-level contours,
// draw each connected component with its own random color
int idx = 0;
for( ; idx >= 0; idx = hierarchy[idx][0] )
{
Scalar color( rand()&255, rand()&255, rand()&255 );
drawContours( dst, contours, idx, color, FILLED, 8, hierarchy );
}
namedWindow( "Components", 1 );
imshow( "Components", dst );
waitKey(0);
}
Parameters
imageDestination image.
contoursAll the input contours. Each contour is stored as a point vector.
contourIdxParameter indicating a contour to draw. If it is negative, all the contours are drawn.
colorColor of the contours.
thicknessThickness of lines the contours are drawn with. If it is negative (for example, thickness=FILLED ), the contour interiors are drawn.
lineTypeLine connectivity. See LineTypes
hierarchyOptional information about hierarchy. It is only needed if you want to draw only some of the contours (see maxLevel ).
maxLevelMaximal level for drawn contours. If it is 0, only the specified contour is drawn. If it is 1, the function draws the contour(s) and all the nested contours. If it is 2, the function draws the contours, all the nested contours, all the nested-to-nested contours, and so on. This parameter is only taken into account when there is hierarchy available.
offsetOptional contour shift parameter. Shift all the drawn contours by the specified \(\texttt{offset}=(dx,dy)\) .
Note
When thickness=FILLED, the function is designed to handle connected components with holes correctly even when no hierarchy date is provided. This is done by analyzing all the outlines together using even-odd rule. This may give incorrect results if you have a joint collection of separately retrieved contours. In order to solve this problem, you need to call drawContours separately for each sub-group of contours, or iterate over the collection using contourIdx parameter.
Examples:
samples/cpp/contours2.cpp, samples/cpp/segment_objects.cpp, samples/cpp/tutorial_code/ml/introduction_to_pca/introduction_to_pca.cpp, and samples/cpp/watershed.cpp.

)
Python:
img=cv.drawMarker(img, position, color[, markerType[, markerSize[, thickness[, line_type]]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

)
Python:
img=cv.ellipse(img, center, axes, angle, startAngle, endAngle, color[, thickness[, lineType[, shift]]])
img=cv.ellipse(img, box, color[, thickness[, lineType]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

Draws a simple or thick elliptic arc or fills an ellipse sector.

The function cv::ellipse with more parameters draws an ellipse outline, a filled ellipse, an elliptic arc, or a filled ellipse sector. The drawing code uses general parametric form. A piecewise-linear curve is used to approximate the elliptic arc boundary. If you need more control of the ellipse rendering, you can retrieve the curve using ellipse2Poly and then render it with polylines or fill it with fillPoly. If you use the first variant of the function and want to draw the whole ellipse, not an arc, pass startAngle=0 and endAngle=360. If startAngle is greater than endAngle, they are swapped. The figure below explains the meaning of the parameters to draw the blue arc.

img=cv.polylines(img, pts, isClosed, color[, thickness[, lineType[, shift]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

Draws several polygonal curves.

Parameters
imgImage.
ptsArray of polygonal curves.
isClosedFlag indicating whether the drawn polylines are closed or not. If they are closed, the function draws a line from the last vertex of each curve to its first vertex.
colorPolyline color.
thicknessThickness of the polyline edges.
lineTypeType of the line segments. See LineTypes
shiftNumber of fractional bits in the vertex coordinates.

The function cv::polylines draws one or more polygonal curves.

◆ putText()

void cv::putText ( InputOutputArray  img,
const String text,
Point  org,
int  fontFace,
double  fontScale,
Scalar  color,
int  thickness = 1,
int  lineType = LINE_8,
bool  bottomLeftOrigin = false 
)
Python:
img=cv.putText(img, text, org, fontFace, fontScale, color[, thickness[, lineType[, bottomLeftOrigin]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

Draws a text string.

The function cv::putText renders the specified text string in the image. Symbols that cannot be rendered using the specified font are replaced by question marks. See getTextSize for a text rendering code example.

Parameters
imgImage.
textText string to be drawn.
orgBottom-left corner of the text string in the image.
fontFaceFont type, see HersheyFonts.
fontScaleFont scale factor that is multiplied by the font-specific base size.
colorText color.
thicknessThickness of the lines used to draw a text.
lineTypeLine type. See LineTypes
bottomLeftOriginWhen true, the image data origin is at the bottom-left corner. Otherwise, it is at the top-left corner.

◆ rectangle() [1/2]

void cv::rectangle ( InputOutputArray  img,
Point  pt1,
Point  pt2,
const Scalar color,
int  thickness = 1,
int  lineType = LINE_8,
int  shift = 0 
)
Python:
img=cv.rectangle(img, pt1, pt2, color[, thickness[, lineType[, shift]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

Draws a simple, thick, or filled up-right rectangle.

The function cv::rectangle draws a rectangle outline or a filled rectangle whose two opposite corners are pt1 and pt2.

Parameters
imgImage.
pt1Vertex of the rectangle.
pt2Vertex of the rectangle opposite to pt1 .
colorRectangle color or brightness (grayscale image).
thicknessThickness of lines that make up the rectangle. Negative values, like FILLED, mean that the function has to draw a filled rectangle.
lineTypeType of the line. See LineTypes
shiftNumber of fractional bits in the point coordinates.
Examples:
samples/cpp/camshiftdemo.cpp, samples/cpp/demhist.cpp, samples/cpp/facedetect.cpp, samples/cpp/falsecolor.cpp, samples/cpp/grabcut.cpp, samples/cpp/intersectExample.cpp, samples/cpp/peopledetect.cpp, samples/cpp/train_HOG.cpp, samples/cpp/tutorial_code/Histograms_Matching/MatchTemplate_Demo.cpp, samples/cpp/tutorial_code/ImgProc/basic_drawing/Drawing_1.cpp, samples/cpp/tutorial_code/ImgProc/basic_drawing/Drawing_2.cpp, samples/dnn/object_detection.cpp, and samples/tapi/hog.cpp.

◆ rectangle() [2/2]

void cv::rectangle ( Mat img,
Rect  rec,
const Scalar color,
int  thickness = 1,
int  lineType = LINE_8,
int  shift = 0 
)
Python:
img=cv.rectangle(img, pt1, pt2, color[, thickness[, lineType[, shift]]])

#include <opencv2/imgproc.hpp>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

use rec parameter as alternative specification of the drawn rectangle: r.tl() and r.br()-Point(1,1) are opposite corners
