Parameters
- element
- Type: OpenCvSharpInputArray
 The structuring element used for dilation. If element=new Mat() , a 3x3 rectangular structuring element is used
- anchor (Optional)
- Type: SystemNullablePoint
 Position of the anchor within the element. The default value (-1, -1) means that the anchor is at the element center
- iterations (Optional)
- Type: SystemInt32
 The number of times dilation is applied. [By default this is 1]
- borderType (Optional)
- Type: OpenCvSharpBorderTypes
 The pixel extrapolation method. [By default this is BorderTypes.Constant]
- borderValue (Optional)
- Type: SystemNullableScalar
 The border value in case of a constant border. The default value has a special meaning. [By default this is CvCpp.MorphologyDefaultBorderValue()]
Return Value
Type: 
MatThe destination image. It will have the same size and the same type as src
