Usage

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

Sequence

Name of a sequence or 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

String variable that will contain the value of the property.

value

String or string expression for the new value of the property. Valid vision objects for the StartPointObject property are:
ArcFinder, ArcInspector, Blob, BoxFinder, Coordinates, CornerFinder, Correlation, DefectFinder, Edge, Geometric, Line, LineFinder, LineInspector, Point, Polar

Values
Screen or any object that run prior to the Line object.

Default: Screen

Remarks
When a Line object is first created, the StartPointObject property is set to Screen. However, Line objects are normally attached to other vision objects. This is the purpose of the StartPointObject and EndPointObject properties. Through these two properties the user can define a line between any two vision objects.

It is important to note that for each specific vision sequence, only those vision objects which are executed prior to the Line object in the vision sequence steps will be available to use as a StartPointObject.
