GetBlockCount Method (GdPictureSegmenter)

In This Topic
Returns the number of blocks within the segmentation result specified by its index.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetBlockCount( _
   ByVal SegmentationResultID As String _
) As Integer
public int GetBlockCount( 
   string SegmentationResultID
)
public function GetBlockCount( 
    SegmentationResultID: String
): Integer; 
public function GetBlockCount( 
   SegmentationResultID : String
) : int;
public: int GetBlockCount( 
   string* SegmentationResultID
) 
public:
int GetBlockCount( 
   String^ SegmentationResultID
)

Parameters

SegmentationResultID
The unique result identifier of the executed segmentation process obtained by the RunSegmentation method.

Return Value

The number of detected blocks. The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.
Example
