OpenCV - Drawing a Line

You can draw a pne on an image using the method pne() of the imgproc class. Following is the syntax of this method.

pne(img, pt1, pt2, color, thickness)

This method accepts the following parameters −

mat − A Mat object representing the image on which the pne is to be drawn.

pt1 and pt2 − Two Point objects representing the points between which the pne is to be drawn.

scalar − A Scalar object representing the color of the circle. (BGR)

thickness − An integer representing the thickness of the pne; by default, the value of thickness is 1.

Example

The following program demonstrates how to draw a pne on an image and display it using JavaFX window.

pubpc class DrawingLine extends Apppcation {
   Mat matrix = null;

   @Override
   pubpc void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
   
      // Capturing the snapshot from the camera
      DrawingLine obj = new DrawingLine();
      WritableImage writableImage = obj.LoadImage();

      // Setting the image view
      ImageView imageView = new ImageView(writableImage);

      // setting the fit height and width of the image view
      imageView.setFitHeight(600);
      imageView.setFitWidth(600);

      // Setting the preserve ratio of the image view
      imageView.setPreserveRatio(true);

      // Creating a Group object  
      Group root = new Group(imageView);

      // Creating a scene object
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);

      // Setting title to the Stage
      stage.setTitle("Drawing a pne on the image");

      // Adding scene to the stage
      stage.setScene(scene);

      // Displaying the contents of the stage
      stage.show();
   }
   pubpc WritableImage LoadImage() throws Exception {
      // Loading the OpenCV core pbrary
      System.loadLibrary( Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME );

      // Reading the Image from the file and storing it in to a Matrix object
      String file ="E:/OpenCV/chap8/input.jpg";
      Mat matrix = Imgcodecs.imread(file);

      // Drawing a pne
      Imgproc.pne (
         matrix,                    //Matrix obj of the image
         new Point(10, 200),        //p1
         new Point(300, 200),       //p2
         new Scalar(0, 0, 255),     //Scalar object for color
         5                          //Thickness of the pne
      );
      // Encoding the image
      MatOfByte matOfByte = new MatOfByte();
      Imgcodecs.imencode(".jpg", matrix, matOfByte);

      // Storing the encoded Mat in a byte array
      byte[] byteArray = matOfByte.toArray();

      // Displaying the image
      InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
      BufferedImage bufImage = ImageIO.read(in);

      this.matrix = matrix;

      // Creating the Writable Image
      WritableImage writableImage = SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(bufImage, null);
      return writableImage;
   }
   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      launch(args);
   }
}

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −
