poIImagePlane SetColorAlphaTarget

Sets the post-processing filter mode.

Syntax

Imageplane_handle SetColorAlphaTarget mode colotStr

Application

HyperView Tcl Modify

Description

The image plane offers several image post-processing filters that can be run on the image or video. The ColorAlpha filter makes the target color in the image or video transparent. This command specifies the target color.

Inputs

mode
The filter mode name. Valid values are returned by GetFilterModeList. They are different for each filter type.
colorStr
The target color, specified as three values between 0 and 255, representing RGB components.

Example

To create one image plane, and then use the color alpha filter to remove all "white" from the image (making those areas of the image transparent). The image plane without the filter is show in Figure 1 (below), while the image plane with the filter active is shown in Figure 2 (below):

Errors

Returns HW_InvalidHandle if the image plane handle is invalid, or poIInvalidImgFilterMode if the specified filter mode is not recognized.
