Method Detail

createGeometry

public void createGeometry(java.awt.image.BufferedImage bi,
                           float dpi,
                           int noCols,
                           java.lang.String geometryFile,
                           java.lang.String ElectionSpecFile)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

createGeometry in interface BmpTogeometryInterface

Parameters:

bi - - the image to be scanned

dpi - - the dpi of the image (it cannot be infered from the image since some images do not have a dpi)

noCols - - the number of columns the contests are arranged in

geometryFile - - where to write the geometry file

ElectionSpecFile - - where to write the default Election Specification

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - - an exception is thrown if the number of bullets is different from the number of dunots for one contest (or for the serial number)

getAllColors

public java.util.Vector<Cluster> getAllColors()

Specified by:

getAllColors in interface BmpTogeometryInterface

Returns:

- all the Colors that the image is scanned for

main
