# TestObjectCreate

TestObject generation function

## SYNOPSIS

`#include "dip_generation.h"`

dip_Error dip_TestObjectCreate ( object, testObject, objectHeight, objectRadius, scale, scaleRadius, scaleAmplitude, objSigma, position, random )

## DATA TYPES

Output: sfloat

## FUNCTION

This function can generate an aliasing free object (ellips, box, ellipsoid shell, box shell) or uses an user-supplied object. The generated objects have their origin at the center in the image, but can be generated with a sub-pixel random shift around the center, to average out dicretization effects over several instances of the same generated object. Optinally the generated object can be convolved with an isotropic Gaussian with a width specified by `objSigma`. Elliptical objects are only supported for images with a dimsnionality equal or less than three. The `position` boolean variable specifies whether a subpixel random shift should be applied to the object. This can be used to average out digitisation error over a repetition of the generation of the same object.
