FileStorage: can write but can't read Size, Rect, etc.

I am writing Size to a yaml file using FileStorage:

FileStorage fs("info.yml", FileStorage::WRITE);
fs << "gridSize" << Size(31,31);

The file content is after writing:

%YAML:1.0
gridSize: [ 31, 31 ]

I cannot read the Size object again by doing:

Size gridSize;
FileStorage fs("info.yml", FileStorage::READ);
fs["gridSize"] >> gridSize;

Is this a bug? Lack of feature? Or is this completely planned behavior? What is the best way to read OpenCV data structures?

A workaround would be to save integers: gridSizeWidth and gridSizeHeight, although that may look ugly

Did you find an acceptable solution for this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing and it will be annoying to have to alter my xml file.

Hi guys. I think the cv::Rect class is written as an array of integers. So that

FileStorage fs(fileName, FileStorage::WRITE);   
Rect r(0,0,0,0);
fs << "myRectangle" << r;

Results in a file with an entry like this:

%YAML:1.0
myRectangle: [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

You can access it reading it as a vector of int and (if needed) construct a cv::Rect with its data.

FileStorage fs(fileName, FileStorage::READ);
std::vector<int> rect;
fs["myRectangle"] >> rect;
cv::Rect myRect(rect[0], rect[1], rect[2], rect[3]);

It worked for me! Best regards.

Yeah I usually do something like this too - however I wonder if this could be done cleanly? The problem is also there for cv::Vec I think, maybe we should open a ticket?
