_const_cast

Signature: [const] Matrix3d ptr _const_cast

Description: Returns a non-const reference to self.

Basically, this method allows turning a const object reference to a non-const one. This method is provided as last resort to remove the constness from an object. Usually there is a good reason for a const object reference, so using this method may have undesired side effects.

This method has been introduced in version 0.29.6.

_create

Signature: void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

_destroy

Signature: void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

_destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

_is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

_manage

Signature: void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

_unmanage

Signature: void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

adjust

Signature: void adjust (DPoint[] landmarks_before, DPoint[] landmarks_after, int flags, int fixed_point)

Description: Adjust a 3d matrix to match the given set of landmarks

This function tries to adjust the matrix such, that either the matrix is changed as little as possible (if few landmarks are given) or that the "after" landmarks will match as close as possible to the "before" landmarks (if the problem is overdetermined).

angle

Signature: [const] double angle

Description: Returns the rotation angle of the rotation component of this matrix.

See the description of this class for details about the basic transformations.

assign

Signature: void assign (const Matrix3d other)

Description: Assigns another object to self

cplx_trans

Signature: [const] DCplxTrans cplx_trans

Description: Converts this matrix to a complex transformation (if possible).

This method is successful only if the matrix does not contain shear or perspective distortion components and the magnification must be isotropic.

create

Signature: void create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _create instead

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

destroy

Signature: void destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroy instead

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

Use of this method is deprecated. Use _destroyed? instead

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

disp

Signature: [const] DVector disp

Description: Returns the displacement vector of this transformation.

Starting with version 0.25 this method returns a vector type instead of a point.

Description: Create a new Matrix3d representing a shear, anisotropic magnification, rotation and mirroring

Description: Create a new Matrix3d representing a displacement, shear, anisotropic magnification, rotation and mirroring

The order of execution of the operations is mirror, magnification, rotation, shear and displacement. This constructor is called 'newc' to distinguish it from the constructor taking the four matrix coefficients ('c' is for composite).

Starting with version 0.25 the displacement is of vector type.

(4) Signature: [static] new Matrix3d ptr newc (double tx, double ty, double z, const DVector u, double shear, double mx, double my, double rotation, bool mirrx)

The order of execution of the operations is mirror, magnification, rotation, shear, perspective distortion and displacement. This constructor is called 'newc' to distinguish it from the constructor taking the four matrix coefficients ('c' is for composite).

The tx and ty parameters represent the perspective distortion. They denote a tilt of the xy plane around the y axis (tx) or the x axis (ty) in degree. The same effect is achieved for different tilt angles for different observer distances. Hence, the observer distance must be given at which the tilt angles are given. If the magnitude of the tilt angle is not important, z can be set to 1.

Starting with version 0.25 the displacement is of vector type.

shear_angle

Signature: [const] double shear_angle

The shear basic transformation will tilt the x axis towards the y axis and vice versa. The shear angle gives the tilt angle of the axes towards the other one. The possible range for this angle is -45 to 45 degree.See the description of this class for details about the basic transformations.

The same effect is achieved for different tilt angles at different observer distances. Hence, the observer distance must be specified at which the tilt angle is computed. If the magnitude of the tilt angle is not important, z can be set to 1.

ty

Signature: [const] double ty (double z)

Description: Returns the perspective tilt angle ty.

The tx and ty parameters represent the perspective distortion. They denote a tilt of the xy plane around the y axis (tx) or the x axis (ty) in degree. The same effect is achieved for different tilt angles at different observer distances. Hence, the observer distance must be specified at which the tilt angle is computed. If the magnitude of the tilt angle is not important, z can be set to 1.
