image.topixel - Function

1.1.1 Convert from world to pixel coordinate

Description

This function converts from absolute world to pixel coordinate (0-rel). The world coordinate can be provided in many formats (numeric, string, quantum etc.) via the argument value. These match the output formats of function toworld.

This function is just a wrapper for the Coordsys tool function topixel so see the documentation there for a description and more examples.

Arguments


Inputs
value	Absolute world coordinate, Numeric vector, vector of strings representing quantities, or record of format analogous to that produced by ia.toworld(). Default is reference value.
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant

Returns
record

Example

"""
#
print "\t----\t topixel Ex 1 \t----"
ia.maketestimage();
w = ia.toworld([10,10], ’n’)        # Numeric vector
ia.topixel(w)
#{’ar_type’: ’absolute’,
# ’numeric’: array([10., 10.]), ’pw_type’: ’pixel’}
w = ia.toworld([10,10], ’m’)        # Record of measures
ia.topixel(w)
#{’ar_type’: ’absolute’,
# ’numeric’: array([10., 10.]), ’pw_type’: ’pixel’}
ia.close()
#
"""

Convert a pixel coordinate to world as floats and then
back to pixel.  Do the same with the world coordinate
formatted as measures instead.
