Line segment drawing

When processing images with OpenCV, we sometimes need to draw line segments, rectangles, etc. on the image.

In OpenCV, we use the line(dst, pt1, pt2, color, thickness=None, lineType=None, shift=None) function to draw line segments.

Parameter Description:

dst: Output image.

pt1,pt2:Required parameter. The coordinate points of the line segment, representing the starting point and the end point respectively.

color: Required parameter. Used to set the color of the line segment.

thickness: Optional parameter. Used to set the width of the line segment.

lineType:Optional parameter.

Used to set the type of line segment, optional 8 (8 adjacent connecting lines - default), 4 (4 adjacent connecting lines) and cv2.LINE_AA for anti-aliasing
