Draw a dot in an image or add a dot to a 2D graphics list.

Syntax

void MgraDot(
    AIL_ID     ContextGraId,            //in
    AIL_ID     DstImageBufOrListGraId,  //out
    AIL_DOUBLE XPos,                    //in
    AIL_DOUBLE YPos                     //in
)

Description

This function draws a dot destructively (raster-based) in the specified image. Alternatively, this function can add a vector-based version of a dot to the specified 2D graphics list, allowing you to, for example, non-destructively annotate a display without pixelation effects upon scaling.

The dot is based on a point positioned at XPos and YPos. The dot inherits all the relevant settings of the specified 2D graphics context, such as the foreground color (see MgraAlloc for default context settings). If the dot falls outside of the specified area, it is not created.

To modify or inquire 2D graphics context settings, use MgraControl or MgraInquire. To modify or inquire 2D graphics list settings, use MgraControlList or MgraInquireList.

The dot's coordinates are interpreted with respect to the input coordinate system, specified using MgraControl or MgraControlList with M_INPUT_UNITS. Note that if you set your input coordinate system to M_WORLD and you pass MgraDot an uncalibrated image, the function will generate an error.

To create one or more dots, use MgraDots.

Note: Unlike most other functions that modify an Aurora Imaging Library object, you can call this function concurrently from multiple threads on the same Aurora Imaging Library 2D graphics list (DstImageBufOrListGraId) without using an M_MUTEX object, as long as all the other parameters of the concurrent calls do not also share data.

Parameters

ContextGraId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the 2D graphics context. This parameter must be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the 2D graphics context

Value	Description
M_DEFAULT	Specifies that the default 2D graphics context of the current Aurora Imaging Library application is used.

Note: Note that there is a different default 2D graphics context for each thread. | | 2D graphics context identifier | Specifies a valid 2D graphics context identifier, which you have allocated using MgraAlloc. |

DstImageBufOrListGraId (out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of a valid image buffer in which to draw the dot or the identifier of a valid 2D graphics list in which to add the dot. You must have allocated the image buffer or the 2D graphics list using MbufAlloc... or MgraAllocList, respectively.

XPos (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the X-coordinate of the dot in the input coordinate system.

YPos (in, AIL_DOUBLE)

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the dot in the input coordinate system.
