Problem with cvRectangle

[thiagoj_silva]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to draw the bouding box of a shape using the function cvRectangle as written below:

cvRectangle(img,cvPoint(box.x, box.y),cvPoint(box.x+box.width, box.y+box.height),cvScalarAll(255),CV_FILLED);

But the complier says the following:
too few arguments to function 'cvRectangle'

I already checked the function on the net and on the O'Reilly book of Opencv and the number of arguments seems correct.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you compiling with a c compiler gcc?
cvRectangle has some default parameters , you have to compile your code
using a c++ compiler!!!

well, this should work...
cvRectangle(img, cvPoint(box.x, box.y), cvPoint(box.x+box.width,
box.y+box.height), CV_RGB(255,0,0),2);

There's an additional final "shift" parameter in the function, that
you can leave as 0.  I think if you're using a C++ compiler, it has a
default value and thus can be left off, but that's probably not true
with a pure C compiler.  So try just adding the additional 0 parameter.

Looks like most/all of the drawing operations have such a final
parameter.  Not sure when they were added, but they're in OpenCV 1.0,
so I agree that I would have thought that the book would include it.
In any event, the docs that came with your OpenCV version should have
shown it (I know that the included documentation with the 1.0 package
on Windows does, for example).

Certainly should you run into these sorts of compiler errors in the
future, I would suggest just checking your load header files before
the net or book.  Regardless of what the other sources say, the
compiler is going to be obeying what is in the header files.

Try this:

cvRectangle(img, cvPoint(box.x, box.y), cvPoint(box.x+box.width, box.y+box.height), cvScalarAll(255), CV_FILLED, 0, 0);

the two last argument (line_type, shift) should be optional. but when you leave it, the compiler will complain.
