CImage:KwdGetSectEx

The KwdGetSectEx method returns the 4 values from a section type keyword plus a boolean success flag. An example of a section keyword is BIASSEC, which has a value with the format '[c1:c2,r1:r2]' as in'[1030:1044,1:1024]'.

Syntax

c1, c2, r1, r2, bSuccess = CImage:KwdGetSectEx( sKwd )

where

sKwd is the keyword name.

c1, c2 are the first and second column values of the keyword.

r1, r2 are the first and second row values of the keyword.

bSuccess is the returned success code. If the keyword exists, it is true. On failure, 0,0,0,0,false is returned.

This method parses the section keyword into its 4 components. If the keyword is not in the image header, then the default values 0, 0, 0, 0 are returned with bSuccess = false. Testing the returned flag for true/false tells whether the keyword is in the header. Alternatively, KwdGetSect returns only the 4 components from the section keyword value.

Example

Suppose a CImage named I exists and contains keyword "BIASSEC". The following script returns the region components stored in the BIASSEC keyword:

c1,c2,r1,r2,bSuccess = I:KwdGetSectEx("BIASSEC")	-- read the keyword value
if bSuccess then	-- print the values
Printf( "R= %d,%d, %d,%d", c1,c2,r1,r2)
else
Printf("Keyword not present or is invalid") end
