Hello all,
I'm trying to use the ctypes module to call functions in a DLL. I've figured
out how to modify my path so the library is found, and I can call LoadLibrary
on it, but one of the functions expects an array of POINTS. Here is the
prototype from the .h file:
TRACKER_API HRESULT InitializeMask(HANDLE pHandle, int nWidth, int nHeight,
POINT* ptMasks, int nNumPoints);
I did a
from ctypes.wintypes import *
Here's my test script:

import os
import numpy as np
import scipy.io
from ctypes import *
from ctypes.wintypes import *
matdata =
scipy.io.loadmat(os.path.join(os.environ['userprofile'],'Desktop','S31_f1.mat'))
data = matdata['data']
nHeight,nWidth = data.shape
pth = os.environ['path'].split(';')
pth.append(os.path.join(os.environ['userprofile'],'My Documents','DLLs'))
os.environ['path'] = ';'.join(pth)
tck=oledll.LoadLibrary('Tracker')
hTrkr = tck.CreateTracker()
maskImage = np.zeros((1024,1280),dtype='int32')
maskImage[300:305,100:105] = True
idx = np.array(maskImage.nonzero())
nPoint = idx.shape[1]
ptMaskType = nPoint * POINT
pts = zip(idx[1,:],idx[0,:])
ptMasks = ptMaskType(*pts)
tck.InitializeMask.argtypes=(HANDLE, c_int, c_int, c_void_p, c_int)
InitMaskResult = tck.InitializeMask(hTrkr, nWidth, nHeight, ptMasks, nPoint)
if __name__ == '__main__':
pass
##############
so I have the POINT class, and I've created the array of POINTs. When I try to
call this function, I get this message:
>>> InitMaskResult = tck.InitializeMask(hTrkr, nWidth, nHeight, ptMasks, nPoint)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Procedure probably called with too many arguments (20 bytes in
excess)
This is the first time that I've tried to use the ctypes module, so any help is
appreciated.
TIA,
