ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station
40
Measure Length:
Allows users to draw a line and measure the distance between any two points on the
image, units depend on spatial calibration
Measure Angle:
Allows users to draw an angle and measure the degree value contained in that angle
Measure Area:
Allows users to draw an area and measure the area contained within that area
New ROI:
Removes the active Region of Interest and prepares for a new one of the current type
Rectangular ROI
: Changes the current mouse tool to select the Rectangular Region of Interest and brings
up one if already present on the current image
Elliptical ROI
: Changes the current mouse tool to select the Elliptical Region of Interest and brings up one
if already present on the current image
Polygonal ROI:
Changes the current mouse tool to select the Polygonal Region of Interest and brings up
one if already present on the current image
Freeform ROI:
Changes the current mouse tool to select the Freeform Region of Interest and brings up
one if already present on the current image
Magic Wand ROI:
Lets users select a consistently colored area (for example, a red flower) without having
