AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'boxPoints' in 2.4.9 [closed]

edit

I can't find the function in the doc, could you please post a relevant part of your code to help us understand what is wrong?

Mathieu,

>>> import cv2

>>> cv2.__version__

'3.0.0-dev'

>>> help(cv2.boxPoints)

Help on built-in function boxPoints in module cv2:

boxPoints(...)

boxPoints(box[, points]) -> points

also, it is definitely not in yesterdays 2.4.9 version, the pr mentioned above is for the master version, not for 2.4

cv2.drawContours(carsample, contours, -1, (0,255,0), 3)

cv2.imshow("contoured image", carsample)

for i in contours: rect=cv2.minAreaRect(i)

box=cv2.boxPoints(rect)

box=np.int0(box)

cv2.drawContours(carsample, [box], 0, (0,0,255),2)

cv2.waitKey(0)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

This when run, shows the contoured image correctly. But after that I get this: box=cv2.boxPoints(rect)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'boxPoints'

Thanks @berak, it's helpful indeed, but I mean on the online doc of OpenCV (better to share).

sorry, yes, here it is: boxpoints

http://opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.org/en/latest/py_tutorials/py_imgproc/py_contours/py_contour_features/py_contour_features.html#b-rotated-rectangle.

I was following the above link.

Kislay, you're bad at loosing ;)

those tutorials apply only to the master version, too.

just accept, that you're out of luck with 2.4.9.

Hmm... I knew something like this would happen. Thats why I cloned the latest development repo too from Github. Let me build it! That should do, right?

yes. try git branch first, to see where you are, and git checkout master or git checkout 2.4 to select the version. then run cmake ...
