Inputs

Name	Type	Description
ipImage	ITcVnImage	Source image (1 channel, USINT elements)
ipActiveContour	ITcVnContainer	Initial contour, which will be adjusted
fAlpha	REAL	Continuity energy coefficient
fBeta	REAL	Curvature energy coefficient
fGamma	REAL	Image energy coefficient
nWindowWidth	UDINT	Window width (3, 5, 7, ...)
nWindowHeight	UDINT	Window height (3, 5, 7, ...)
nMaxIterations	UDINT	Maximum iterations
bUseGradient	BOOL	If true, the gradient magnitude is used as image energy (otherwise: pixel intensity)
hrPrev	HRESULT	HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)
