How would you get all the points on a line?

edit

i searched google "draw a line c++" and found this

the adaptation to your case is below

vector<Point> linePoints(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1)
{
    vector<Point> pointsOfLine;

    int dx = abs(x1-x0), sx = x0<x1 ? 1 : -1;
    int dy = abs(y1-y0), sy = y0<y1 ? 1 : -1;
    int err = (dx>dy ? dx : -dy)/2, e2;

    for(;;)
    {
        pointsOfLine.push_back(Point(x0,y0));
        if (x0==x1 && y0==y1) break;
        e2 = err;
        if (e2 >-dx)
        {
            err -= dy;
            x0 += sx;
        }
        if (e2 < dy)
        {
            err += dx;
            y0 += sy;
        }
    }
    return pointsOfLine;
}

to test it you can try the code below

//modified from https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/master/apps/annotation/opencv_annotation.cpp
// move the mouse on the window and try left click and right click
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

// Function prototypes

{
    vector<Point> pointsOfLine;

    int dx = abs(x1-x0), sx = x0<x1 ? 1 : -1;
    int dy = abs(y1-y0), sy = y0<y1 ? 1 : -1;
    int err = (dx>dy ? dx : -dy)/2, e2;

    for(;;)
    {
        pointsOfLine.push_back(Point(x0,y0));
        if (x0==x1 && y0==y1) break;
        e2 = err;
        if (e2 >-dx)
        {
            err -= dy;
            x0 += sx;
        }
        if (e2 < dy)
        {
            err += dx;
            y0 += sy;
        }
    }
    return pointsOfLine;
}

            vector<vector<Point> > contours;
            contours.push_back(linePoints(roi_x0,roi_y0,roi_x1,roi_y1));
            drawContours( image, contours, 0, Scalar(0, 0, 0), FILLED, 8 );

}
