code. It continues up the chain until it finds a tool that supports the code. If no valid tool is found, an
invalid vision result error is generated.
For example, suppose an Arc Finder tool is placed relative to a Blob Analyzer tool. In the application, the
Blob Analyzer tool locates many blobs and adds an Arc Finder tool at each instance. If you ask for the
blob area associated with an arc finder instance, VRESULT will recognize that the Arc Finder tool does
not support that code, so it moves to the parent tool (the Blob Analyzer tool) and finds the blob
instance associated with the specified arc result. It validates that the blob result supports the VRESULT
code, and so it returns the data.
Example
The following illustrates how to retrieve a specific tool result.
; Get the number of instances found by a Locator.
; instance count = 1310
instance_count = VRESULT($ip, 1, 2, 1, 1310)
VRESULT real-valued function
