ContourTolerance Property

Applies To
Vision Object: Contour

Description
Specifies the tolerance for reducing contour points.

Usage

VGet  Sequence.Object.ContourTolerance, var
VSet  Sequence.Object.ContourTolerance, value

Sequence

String variable containing a sequence name.

Object

Name of an object or string variable containing an object name. The object must exist in the specified sequence.

var

Real variable that will contain the value of the property.

value

Real value or expression for the new value of the property.

Values
Set as a positive real value from 0 to 100

Remarks
The number of contour points can be reduced for Contour objects. While lowering the ContourTolerance property value increases the accuracy that a trajectory can be traced for a workpiece, this results in a greater number of contour points. Conversely, increasing the ContourTolerance property value reduces the trajectory accuracy, but also reduces the number of contour points. Contour points will not be deleted if the ContourTolerance property is set to 0.
