In gglogo: Geom for Logo Sequence Plots

Description

Determine boundary between foreground and background in an image

Usage

getOutline(imdf, var = "red", threshold = 0.5)

Arguments

imdf	dataframe describing a pixellated image in x and y. Has to have columns x, y, and var
var	dimension along which foreground and background of a shape in the image are well separated. Usually one of 'red', 'green', or 'blue', but could be extended to any other numerical variable.
threshold	value specifying the cutoff along variable var. Values of var higher than the threshold are considered to belong to the foreground.

Value

subset of data frame imdf consisting of just boundary points:

• x x coordinate in pixels

• y y coordinate in pixels (usually negative)

• red number vector in (0,1) describing the amount of red of the pixel in an RGB model

• green number vector in (0,1) describing the amount of green of the pixel in an RGB model

• blue number vector in (0,1) describing the amount of blue of the pixel in an RGB model
