implot: Plot objects on image using base graphics

In imager: Image Processing Library Based on 'CImg'

Plot objects on image using base graphics

Description

This function lets you use an image as a canvas for base graphics, meaning you can use R functions like "text" and "points" to plot things on an image. The function takes as argument an image and an expression, executes the expression with the image as canvas, and outputs the result as an image (of the same size).

Usage

implot(im, expr, ...)

Arguments

im	an image (class cimg)
expr	an expression (graphics code to execute)
...	passed on to plot.cimg, to control the initial rendering of the image (for example the colorscale)

Value

an image

## Not run: 
b.new <- implot(boats,text(150,50,"Boats!!!",cex=3))
plot(b.new)
#Draw a line on a white background
bg <- imfill(150,150,val=1)
implot(bg,lines(c(50,50),c(50,100),col="red",lwd=4))%>%plot
#You can change the rendering of the initial image
im <- grayscale(boats)
draw.fun <- function() text(150,50,"Boats!!!",cex=3)
out <- implot(im,draw.fun(),colorscale=function(v) rgb(0,v,v),rescale=FALSE)
plot(out)
