Set low and high threshold values used by the algorithm. The High threshold selects the „strong“ edge pixels, which are then connected through 8-connectivity with the „weak“ edge pixels selected by the Low threshold. Range is from 0.000 to 1.000 with Low threshold being lower or equal to High threshold.

Modes

Selection

Define the drawing mode

Planes

Selection

Select the planes for filtering

The following selection items are available:
