Synopsis
Draw a dot in an image or add a dot to a graphics list.
Syntax
void MgraDot(
MIL_ID ContextGraId, //in
MIL_ID DstImageBufOrListGraId, //in
MIL_DOUBLE XPos, //in
MIL_DOUBLE YPos //in
)
Description

This function draws a dot destructively (raster-based) in the specified image. Alternatively, this function can add a vector-based version of a dot to the specified graphics list, allowing you to, for example, non-destructively annotate a display without pixelation effects upon scaling.

The dot is based on a point positioned at XPos and YPos. The dot inherits all the relevant settings of the specified graphics context, such as the foreground color (see MgraAlloc() for default context settings). If the dot falls outside of the specified area, it is not created.

To modify or inquire graphics context settings, use MgraControl() or MgraInquire(). To modify or inquire graphics list settings, use MgraControlList() or MgraInquireList().

The dot's coordinates are interpreted with respect to the input coordinate system, specified using MgraControl() or MgraControlList() with M_INPUT_UNITS. Note that if you set your input coordinate system to M_WORLD and you pass MgraDot() an uncalibrated image, the function will generate an error.

To create one or more dots, use MgraDots().

Unlike most other functions that modify a MIL object, you can call this function concurrently from multiple threads on the same MIL graphics list (DstImageBufOrListGraId) without using an M_MUTEX object, as long as all the other parameters of the concurrent calls do not also share data.

When compiling C code in 64-bit mode, MgraDot() internally calls the MIL_INT64 version of this function (MgraDotInt64()). If you need to pass floating-point values, call the MIL_DOUBLE version of this function (MgraDotDouble()).
Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
Parameters
ContextGraId

Specifies the identifier of the graphics context. This parameter must be set to one of the following values:

function map For specifying the graphics context
CollapseValue Description
Collapse M_DEFAULT

Specifies that the default graphics context of the current MIL application is used.

Note that there is a different default graphics context for each thread.

(summarize)
Collapse MIL graphics context identifier

Specifies a valid graphics context identifier, which you have allocated using MgraAlloc().

DstImageBufOrListGraId

Specifies the identifier of a valid image buffer in which to draw the dot or the identifier of a valid graphics list in which to add the dot. You must have allocated the image buffer or the graphics list using MbufAlloc...() or MgraAllocList(), respectively.

This image buffer must not have a region of interest (ROI) associated with it. Using an image buffer with an ROI will cause an error.

XPos INQ

Specifies the X-coordinate of the dot in the input coordinate system.

YPos INQ

Specifies the Y-coordinate of the dot in the input coordinate system.
