Scalar division

 

DSpGMSingleBand: Scalar division

In this operation a scalar is divided by every pixel in a raster band, or the pixel value is divided by the scalar. The raster band is overwritten with the result of the subtracttion.

The operation is provided in a high-level and a low-level format. In the high-level format a raster object, a band identifier and a token are specified, together with the scalar. The operation applies to all pixels and the result is stored in the specified band. In the low-level format the operation is applied to a block of contiguous memory containing a specified number of pixels. The low-level format is useful to chain a number of operations without the overhead of storing intermediate results.

If you want to preserve the original raster band, you should make a copy of the band first.

 

Declaration

High-level declaration (pixel value / scalar):

procedure DSpGMDivideScalar(const r: TDSpRaster; const band, token: integer;
                            scalar: TDSpFloat64);

High-level declaration (scalar / pixel value):

procedure DSpGMScalarDivide(const r: TDSpRaster; const band, token: integer;
                            scalar: TDSpFloat64);

Low-level declarations (scalar / pixel value):

procedure DSpGMScalarDivideUInt32
procedure DSpGMScalarDivideInt32
procedure DSpGMScalarDivideInt64
procedure DSpGMScalarDivideFloat32
procedure DSpGMScalarDivideFloat64
                        (const data: pointer; pixels: integer;
                         fill, scalar: TDSpFloat64);

The low-level operations for pixel value / scalar use the low-level procedures for scalar multiplication, supplying 1 / scalar as the scalar value.

Parameter Description
r A valid raster object. It must be opened for write access.
band The identifier of the raster band. The band must exist in the raster, and it can be of any type. The data type can be any 32-bit or 64-bit data type.
token The access token for the raster. The token has to be generated for write access.
scalar

The value that is divided by every pixel of the raster band, or the value by which every pixel value is divided. This value will be converted to the data type of the raster band before the operation.

data A pointer to a block of memory containing pixels pixel values.
pixels Number of pixels in the data block of memory.
fill The missing data value of the raster band.
