.SH NAME
im_measure \- measure colour patches off images
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <vips/vips.h>
DOUBLEMASK *im_measure(in, box, h, v, sel, nsel, name)
.br
IMAGE *in;
.br
IMAGE_BOX *box;
.br
int h, v;
.br
int *sel;
.br
int nsel;
.br
char *name;
.SH DESCRIPTION
Analyse a grid of colour patches, producing a DOUBLEMASK of averages.
Pass an IMAGE, an IMAGE_BOX, the number of horizontal and vertical
patches, an array giving the numbers of the patches to measure (patches
are numbered left-to-right, top-to-bottom, starting with 1) and the name we
should give the output mask. Return a DOUBLEMASK in which rows are patches and
columns are bands. Only the central 50% of each patch is averaged.
Example: 6 band image of 4x2 block of colour patches.

Then call im_measure( im, box, 4, 2, { 2, 4 }, 2, "fred" ) makes a mask
"fred" which has 6 columns, two rows. The first row contains the averages
for patch 2, the second for patch 4.
Output warnings: a warning is issued if the standard deviation of any patch is
greater than 20% of the mean of that patch.
.SH RETURN VALUE
NULL on error.
