# Continuous Mode

This code snippet shows how to build and draw blobs in the continuous mode context.

## C++

```cpp
#include <eVision/EasyObject/EasyObject2/EImageEncoder.h>
```

```cpp
using namespace eVision;
// Size of the chunks that will be processed
int chunkWidth = 128;
int chunkHeight = 256;

// Number of chunks that will be processed
int numChunks = 100;

// Image that will contain each chunk to be encoded
EImageBW8 imageChunk(chunkWidth, chunkHeight);

// An image in which we will draw all the detected objects from all the chunks.
EImageC24A allBlobs(chunkWidth, numChunks * chunkHeight);

// Image encoder
EImageEncoder encoder;
// Coded image
ECodedImage2 codedImage;
// ...
// Enable the continuous mode
encoder.SetContinuousModeEnabled(true);

// Loop to acquire the different chunks
for (int count = 0; count < numChunks; count++)
{
  // Store the new chunk into imageChunk
  // ...

  // Encode the current chunk
  encoder.Encode(imageChunk, codedImage);

  // Draw the current objects
  EGenericDrawAdapter drawAdapter(&allBlobs);
  codedImage.Draw(&drawAdapter, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, static_cast<float>(count * chunkHeight));
}

// Flush the continuous mode
encoder.FlushContinuousMode(codedImage);

// codedImage now contains the remaining blobs that were touching the bottom of the last chunk.
EGenericDrawAdapter drawAdapter(&allBlobs);
codedImage.Draw(&drawAdapter, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, static_cast<float>(numChunks * chunkHeight));
```
