Convert region type value to a string

Synopsis
absreltype(absrelvalue)

Arguments

absrelvalue	in	Region type value
		Allowed:	Integer - 1, 2, 3, 4

Returns
String or fail

Description

This function is not intended for general user use.

Regions may be specified with coordinates which are absolute or relative. This function converts the integer code defining the absolute/relative type of the coordinates (which is stored in the region) into a string (maybe for printing purposes).

The different types are

Integer     String      Description
1            abs        Absolute coordinate
2            relref     Relative reference pixel
3            relcen     Relative to center of image
4            reldir     Relative to some direction

Example

- r := drm.box(blc=[3,40], trc=[80,90])   # Create region
- v := r.get('arblc')                     # Get absrel value vector for blc
- n := length(v)
- for (i in 1:n) {
+   print drm.absreltype(v[i])            # Print string conversion for each axis
+  }
