image.close - Function

1.1.1 Close the image tool
Description

This function closes the image tool. This means that it detaches the tool from its image file (flushing all the changes first). The image tool is “null” after this change (it is not destroyed) and calling any tool function other than open will result in an error.

Arguments

Returns
bool

Example

"""
#
print "\t----\t close Ex 1 \t----"
# First create image and attach image tool to it.
ia.maketestimage(’myimage’,overwrite=true)
ia.close()              # Detaches image from Image tool
print "!!!EXPECT ERROR HERE!!!"
ia.summary()            # No image so this results in an error.
ia.open(’myimage’)      # Image is reattached
ia.summary()            # No error
ia.close()
#
