ROI Creation Using Dialogs

Certain types of ROI can be created using a dialog; you should do this when you want to precisely set the shape and location of an ROI.

The ROIs that can be created this way are the regularly-shaped ROIs:

  • Text
  • Marker
  • Line
  • Rectangular
  • Elliptical

To bring up a dialog, choose the type of ROI you want to create from the Create menu of the ROI Toolkit Frame: roi_create

An example dialog for Rectangular ROIs is shown below.

create_rectangular_dialog

Type in the properties of the ROI that you want to create. Tool Tips are available to help guide you through correctly filling the required details: hover the mouse over one of the fields to see the tool tip. When you have set the properties of the ROI to be created, click on the add_button button to add the ROI to the selected slice of the image.
