\title{ Object removal }

\description{
  The \code{rmObjects} functions deletes objects indexed by a list of
  integer vectors (indexes) from an image with indexed objects. \code{reenumerate}
  re-enumerates all objects in an \linkS4class{IndexedImage} from 0 - background
  to the actual number of objects.
}

\usage{

  ## S4 methods for signatures 'x=IndexedImage,index=numeric'
  ## and 'x=IndexedImage,index=list'
  rmObjects(x, index, ...)

  \S4method{reenumerate}{IndexedImage}(x, ...)
}

\arguments{

  \item{x}{An object of \code{\linkS4class{IndexedImage}}. }

  \item{index}{ A numeric (integer) vector of indexes of objects to
    remove in the frame if \code{x} contains one frame only. For multiple
    frames, a list of such vectors.}

  \item{...}{ Reserved. }
}

\value{

  An image of \code{\linkS4class{IndexedImage}}.
