Selecting Data in Raster Images
Selection of Data in Raster Images
This functionality is available only in the Raster module.
To edit the content of monochrome raster images, apply the raster selection. Using various types of selection, you can select on raster images:
· raster objects – raster lines, arcs and circles;
· areal fragments of a raster image;
· raster lines segments – fragments of raster lines of any shape limited by points of intersection with other raster lines or endpoints;
· isolated raster fragments – multiple interconnected raster points.
· set the selection mode: add data to selection, remove from selection, single selection;
· run one of the selection methods: specifying, within the rectangle, clipping polygon, etc. The selection method is assigned based on the type of raster data being selected;
· carry out the procedure for pointing on the image in accordance with the running method.

|
Button |
Method name |
Specifying procedure |
Selected raster data |
|
|
Select Auto |
Specify the object. |
Raster object. |
|
|
Select by rectangle (rectangular area) |
Specify opposite corners of rectangular area. |
All raster data inside the rectangular area. The selection border runs exactly along the edge of the rectangular selection box. |
|
|
Select by polygon (polygonal area) |
Specify points that determine the boundary of a polygonal area that completely covers the selected data. Press ENTER. |
All raster data are polygon-bound. The selection border runs exactly along the edge of the polygonal selection box. |
|
|
Select Raster Line |
Specify two points - the ends of the reference line. |
Raster line below the reference line |
|
|
Select Raster Arc |
Set three points - start, arbitrary midpoint, and end point of the reference arc. |
Raster arc below the reference arc. |
|
|
Select Raster Circle |
Specify two points - the ends of the reference circle diameter. |
Raster circle below the reference circle. |
|
|
Select Raster Flood Fill |
Specify any point on a raster object |
Parts of an image whose raster points touch each other. This is useful for selecting isolated raster objects. |
Object Raster Selection Methods
The trace selection of raster data is based on the principle of recognition of individual raster objects: raster lines, arcs and circles in the selected area or on its border.
|
|
Inside window |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects that are completely within the rectangle. Raster objects crossed by the rectangle border are not selected. |
|
|
Inside polygon |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects that are completely inside the polygon. Raster objects crossed by the polygon border are not selected. |
|
|
Cross window |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects that are inside the region, as well as all raster objects crossed by the rectangle border. |
|
|
Cross polygon |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects that are inside the polygon, as well as all raster objects crossed by the polygon boundary. |
|
|
Fence |
Specify a set of points – polyline vertices. Press ENTER. |
Raster objects crossed by the specified line. |
BKM_SelectMethod_Trace
Trace selection of raster data is based on the principle of recognizing raster line segments in a given area or before crossing with other segments.
|
Button |
Method name |
Specifying procedure |
Selected raster data |
|
|
Inside window (trace) |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects that are completely within the area before crossing with other segments. Raster objects crossed by the rectangle border are not selected. |
|
|
Inside polygon (trace) |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects that are completely inside the polygon before crossing with other segments. Raster objects crossed by the polygon border are not selected. |
|
|
Cross window (trace) |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects that are inside the region and crossed by the rectangular border before crossing with other segments. |
|
|
Cross polygon (trace) |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects that are inside the polygon and crossed by the polygon boundary before crossing with other segments. |
|
|
Fence (trace) |
Specify a set of points – polyline vertices. Press ENTER. |
Raster objects crossed by the specified line before crossing with other segments |
BKM_SelectMethod_FloodFill
The fill selection of raster data is based on the principle of recognition in a given area of contacting (merging) raster points.
|
Button |
Method name |
Specifying procedure |
Selected raster data |
|
|
Inside window (fill) |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects that have contacting pixels and are completely within the rectangle. |
|
|
Inside polygon (fill) |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects that have contacting pixels and are completely within the polygon. |
|
|
Cross window (fill) |
Specify opposite corners of the rectangular area. |
Objects inside the area, crossed by the rectangle border and all contacting areas. |
|
|
Cross polygon (fill) |
Specify points that determine the boundary of the polygonal area. Press ENTER. |
Objects inside the polygon and crossed by the polygon border and all contacting areas. |
|
|
Fence (fill) |
Specify a set of points – polyline vertices. Press ENTER. |
Raster objects crossed by the specified line and all contacting ones. |
For correct recognition of raster objects when using the object selection methods, it is necessary to make settings in the Options tab of the Conversion options dialog box:
Selection options for recognizing raster objects
|
Option |
Description |
|
Max. width |
The maximum thickness of raster objects that can be selected using object recognition or line-following methods. Lines that are thicker than the specified value will not be selected. |
|
Max. break |
The amount of the maximum ignored raster line break. If the raster line breaks are less than the specified value, the line will be selected as a single object. |
|
Approximation Accuracy |
When a raster is selected using methods based on object recognition, the Accuracy parameter sets the acceptable degree of deviation of the shape of raster entities from their vector prototypes. If the original raster entities are distorted, for example, the raster circles are elliptical, the selection accuracy will increase as you move the Accuracy slider to the left. To make a selection on the original raster image of good quality, move the slider to the right. |
The values of Max. thickness and Max. break parameters can be measured in a raster image using 
buttons next to the fields.
