How to get the Y, X, H, W of a Match object

Asked by Raymond

So I have a match object, and I need to get the Y and X coordinates, and Height and Width of the object in order to create a new Region object.

I can't seem to find a way to obtain these attributes from the Match. I have checked the documentation and I looked into converting the Match into a Location object and couldn't find a way to get the attributes out of that either.

I'm stumped. I remember there being getY, getX, getH, and getW methods on Match and Region objects before.

these methods are still there - but they (still ;-) need the function brackets: getX()

But as a convenience, you might use direct attribute access too:
m = find(somw-image)
x = m.x # or m.getX()
y = m.y # or m.getY()
w = m.width # or m.getW()
h = m.height # or m.getH()

Thank you. By the way, those get methods and their equivalent forms aren't mentioned anywhere in the documentation.. There is a mention of x, y, w, h parameters when you set a Region, but nothing about how to access them.

Sorry, for misleading to some extent: (I mixed it up with Java rectangle)
this is correct:
w = m.w # or m.getW()
h = m.h # or m.getH()

It is not in the docs, because these attributes are class/object internal.

It is recommended to use the setter and getter methods, which are defined for a region. These will be available all time independent from internal class design.

Thanks for the doc tip: when converting the doc to the new system, the get... methods for class Region fell from the table ;-) will be repaired soon.

Can you help with this problem?
