The structuring elements can be flat, represented by a binary matrix or non-flat, represented by an uint32 matrix. Sometimes, the structuring element can be represented by an internal data structure so that the best way to visualize a structuring element is by calling the function mmseshow which converts the structuring element to a matrix with the above conventions. </p> </div> </div> <div class="examples"> <H2>Examples</H2> <div class="H2"> <p> <div class="example"> <div class="listing"> <pre class="user">>>> print mmseshow(mmsecross())</pre> <pre class="computer">[[0 1 0] [1 1 1] [0 1 0]]</pre> <pre class="user">>>> print mmseshow(mmsecross(),'non-flat')</pre> <pre class="computer">[[-2147483647 0 -2147483647] [ 0 0 0] [-2147483647 0 -2147483647]]</pre> <pre class="user">>>> print mmseshow(mmbinary([0,1,1]))</pre> <pre class="computer">[0 1 1]</pre> </div> </div>A graphical representation of a flat structuring element can be created using the option 'expand' in the mmseshow function: <div class="example"> <div class="listing"> <pre class="user">>>> B = mmsecross(3)</pre> <pre class="computer"></pre> <pre class="user">>>> F = mmseshow(B,'expand')</pre> <pre class="computer"></pre> <pre class="user">>>> mmshow(F)</pre> <pre class="computer"></pre> </div> <table class="images"> <tbody align="center"> <tr class="image" valign="bottom"> <td><img width="119" src="../images/img_mmSe_001.jpg"></td> <td class="spare"></td> </tr> <tr class="title" valign="baseline"> <td><a href="../images/img_mmSe_001.jpg">F</a></td> <td class="spare"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </p> </div> </div> <div class="seealso"> <H2>See also</H2> <div class="H2"> <table class="deflist"> <tbody valign="baseline"></tbody> </table> </div> </div> <center> <table class="botNav"> <tr> <td class="index"> [<a href="../mmtypes/mmImage.html"><tt>mmImage</tt></a>] [<a href="index.html">Up</a>] [<a href="../mmtypes/mmInterval.html"><tt>mmInterval</tt></a>] </td> <td rowspan="2" class="xhtml"><a href="http://www.python.org"><img width="55" alt="Python" height="22" src="../PythonPoweredSmall.gif"></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="copyright">Copyright (c) 2003, Roberto A.
