How to finding contours in image

Hi, thanks for the issue!
We have an example of CannyEdges operation which finds contours in the image: https://gammacv.com/examples/canny_edges

The example with the code you are able to find on CodePen: https://codepen.io/WorldThirteen/pen/wONzjL
See our GetStarted to understand the example's code.

Is there a similar pointPolygonTest function?

[WorldThirteen]

No, we have no such function yet and have no plans to implement it in the nearest future. But we are open for the contribution.
So if you want to see this functionality, please describe it in details, provide an example.

Thanks;
like opencv.js

2. Point Polygon Test
This function finds the shortest distance between a point in the image and a contour. It returns the distance which is negative when point is outside the contour, positive when point is inside and zero if point is on the contour.

We use the function: cv.pointPolygonTest (contour, pt, measureDist)

Mainly this
The function determines whether the point is inside a contour,

possible to find biggest contour in current implement ?

i want to use this to find paper edge and do perspective transform

Thank you guys for interest and feedback. Currently GammaCV support only edges detection and hasn't support algorithms for contour segmentation, but we have a plans to add it in future. If you would like to help with it welcome to contribute.

@crapthings dependent on case you have, if you looking for a contour of squared area you can detect edges then using Hough transform extract lines and then using heuristic approach try to find object contour you interested in

The documentation on pcLines is not very complete. There's no example that tell the name of the function for example. Is it pcLInes or pcLinesTransform? Once we apply the pcLines, how can we get the coordinates of those lines? How to remove part of the images outside a square (cut the image)?

Happy to take a PR. A PClines example is provided.

[WorldThirteen]

@ramiel, thanks for pointing on this documentation issue. This operation is available by gm.pcLines. The source code of the examples that we hosted on GammaCV cite: PCLines are available here
The example consists of two parts:

1. setup operation pipeline part
2. tick part which invokes at each frame.

Thank you @WorldThirteen . As you can see from my other issue I already found the example code :)

Can you please post the working example for pclines here?

Sorry if the question sounds very naive as I am very new to js. But how do we pass the input to each of these function and run them?
