trackBar not shown

C++
1

Hello,

I followed https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/df/d0d/tutorial_find_contours.html modified according to https://forum.opencv.org/t/createtrackbar-warns-that-value-pointer-is-deprecated-but-is-there-any-other-way-to-set-trackbars-initial-position/7675/2 both in python and C++ but the trackbar does not show up in the source window.
What did I do wrong ?
Thank you

how do we know ?
please show, what you’re doing

Thank you for your reply.
I followed the url mentioned:

#include "opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
Mat src_gray;
int thresh = 100;
RNG rng(12345);
void thresh_callback(int, void* );
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
 CommandLineParser parser( argc, argv, "{@input | HappyFish.jpg | input image}" );
 Mat src = imread( samples::findFile( parser.get<String>( "@input" ) ) );
 if( src.empty() )
 {
 cout << "Could not open or find the image!\n" << endl;
 cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <Input image>" << endl;
 return -1;
 }
 cvtColor( src, src_gray, COLOR_BGR2GRAY );
 blur( src_gray, src_gray, Size(3,3) );
 const char* source_window = "Source";
 namedWindow( source_window );
 imshow( source_window, src );
 const int max_thresh = 255;
 createTrackbar( "Canny thresh:", source_window, &thresh, max_thresh, thresh_callback );
 thresh_callback( 0, 0 );
 waitKey();
 return 0;
}
void thresh_callback(int, void* )
{
 Mat canny_output;
 Canny( src_gray, canny_output, thresh, thresh*2 );
 vector<vector<Point> > contours;
 vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;
 findContours( canny_output, contours, hierarchy, RETR_TREE, CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE );
 Mat drawing = Mat::zeros( canny_output.size(), CV_8UC3 );
 for( size_t i = 0; i< contours.size(); i++ )
 {
 Scalar color = Scalar( rng.uniform(0, 256), rng.uniform(0,256), rng.uniform(0,256) );
 drawContours( drawing, contours, (int)i, color, 2, LINE_8, hierarchy, 0 );
 }
 imshow( "Contours", drawing );
}

the makefile :

OPENCV_LIBS = $(shell pkg-config --libs opencv4)
trackBar:trackBar.cpp Makefile
	g++ trackBar.cpp -o trackBar -I /usr/include/opencv4/ $(OPENCV_LIBS) -g -Wall

compilation output :

and execution:

$ trackBar
[ WARN:0@0.258] global window.cpp:701 createTrackbar UI/Trackbar(Canny thresh:@Source): Using 'value' pointer is unsafe and deprecated. Use NULL as value pointer. To fetch trackbar value setup callback.

the warning is easily suppress using a nullptr on line 18 as explained in the second . url. But the track bar does not appear.
Thank you
