The SaveSeamPolygons method saves the effective mosaic polygons (also called seam polygons) to a shapefile. It only applies if the SEAMLINE_METHOD property is set to Geometry.
Example
This example automatically generates seamlines for the input scenes that you specify, then saves the seam polygons to a shapefile. When prompted, select the input scenes of your choice.
The example uses sample images that are available from our ENVI Tutorials web page. Click the Mosaic link to download the .zip file to your machine, then unzip the files. Update the file location with your own directory.
e = ENVI()
File1 = '2002apr01.dat'
Raster1 = e.OpenRaster(File1)
File2 = '2004apr13_warp.dat'
Raster2 = e.OpenRaster(File2)
mosaicRaster = ENVIMosaicRaster([Raster1, Raster2], $
COLOR_MATCHING_ACTIONS = ['Reference', 'Adjust'], $
COLOR_MATCHING_METHOD = 'Histogram Matching', $
COLOR_MATCHING_STATS = 'Entire Scene', $
SEAMLINE_METHOD = 'Geometry', $
DATA_IGNORE_VALUE = 0)
outFile = e.GetTemporaryFilename('shp')
mosaicRaster.SaveSeamPolygons, outFile
Syntax
ENVIMosaicRaster.SaveSeamPolygons, URI
Arguments
URI
A scalar string that is a fully-qualified file path to a shapefile to which the seam polygons should be written.
Keywords
ERROR
Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain any error message issued during execution of this routine. If no error occurs, the ERROR variable will be set to a null string (''). If an error occurs and the routine is a function, then the function result will be undefined.
When this keyword is not set and an error occurs, ENVI returns to the caller and execution halts. In this case, the error message is contained within !ERROR_STATE and can be caught using IDL's CATCH routine. See IDL Help for more information on !ERROR_STATE and CATCH.
See Manage Errors for more information on error handling in ENVI programming.
