how to get all pixels enclosed by a canvas object

[Peng-9]

Hi there,

I have been struggling to find a way to retrieve all pixel coordinates that are enclosed by an object drawn on a canvas widget.  Anyone knows how I can do it?

Thanks,
Yahui

  I'm not sure what you mean, but perhaps you are looking for:

canvas.find_enclosed(x1, y1, x2, y2)     => [objID, objID, ...]  completely enclosed
canvas.find_overlapping(x1, y1, x2, y2)  => [objID, objID, ...]  sharing at least 1 point

  ..?

Thanks for your reply, Lion.

What I want to do is to select a region of interest (ROI) in a given
image.  I can display the image in a canvas widget and use
canvas.create_#object#() method to generate an ROI on the screen.
However, I could not find a way to get all pixel coordinates inside the
ROI.  I have found that canvas.coors() returns pixel coordinates but
they do not normally form a close contour.  What I was wondering is
whether there is a simple way to get all pixels inside an object that is
created by canvas.create_#object#() method.

I see your suggestion is a possible way: get the bbox() return values
for the object and test each pixel (or a small box) to see whether or
not it is inside the object.  But are there easier and more direct ways
to do this?

  Are you talking about making, say, a clickable image-map ..?
  Or perhaps semantic regions? [1]

  I guess what I'm wondering is:
  * Why do you need to get all of the pixel coordinates within the region (within the shape,)
  * ...and:  is there an easier way to do what you are wanting to do?

  For example, if you were wanting to make a clickable image-map,
  then I'd want to check, "Do you know that you can attach events to clicks
  on the objects in the canvas?"

  Or if you are trying to do collision detection, you might want to look at:
    http://www.rhinocerus.net/forum/lang-tcl/597392-overlapping-items-tk-canvas.html
  ...or you might want to use canvas.find_overlapping dynamically,
  rather than getting at the original data, ...

  (etc.,.)

The task is straightforward.  I want to select a certain region of an
image and plot, for example, the distribution of pixel values within
that region.  Therefore, I want to have the pixels coordinates so that I
can select those pixel to get their values.

What I am doing now is to use canvas to display the image and define
callbacks attached to mouse click events to generate an object that
encloses the region I want to have.  The trouble I have now is that
after I generate a (for example) polygon object in a canvas, I do not
know how I can get all pixels enclosed by the polygon object.

I am new to Tkinter and I think there must be an easy way to get it
done.

Thanks,
Yahui
