Hey guys,
I'm currently measuring the density of certain regions on rat brain slices (Western blot) in ImageJ. But I was wondering, are there options to keep a drawn figure (for example with the polygon tool) fixed while drawing a new one? Because, as you probably know, the last drawn selection always disappears when clicking next to it (to start drawing a new figure). Another question: I know I can save my results (density measurements), but how do you open this data after closing and restarting ImageJ? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Pieter,
If you hold Shift while drawing the second selection it is added to the first without deleting it. The results are saved in a text file, which is TAB-separated. It can be opened with any text editor or it can be imported into any spreadsheet editor :MsOffice Excel, OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc etc. Stoyan Pavlov 2012/12/14 Pieter Janssens <[hidden email]> > Hey guys, > > I'm currently measuring the density of certain regions on rat brain slices > (Western blot) in ImageJ. > > But I was wondering, are there options to keep a drawn figure (for example > with the polygon tool) fixed while drawing a new one? > Because, as you probably know, the last drawn selection always disappears > when clicking next to it (to start drawing a new figure). > > Another question: I know I can save my results (density measurements), but > how do you open this data after closing and restarting ImageJ? > > Thanks a lot for your help! > > Greetings from Belgium, > Pieter > > -- > ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html > -- Dr. Stoyan P.

Of course in this way your measurement will be done over the two drawn
areas at once. If you need to store them as separate selections you will have to use the RoImanager: draw selection => hit Ctrl+T to add it as a Region of interest and then repeat for all your RoIs. When you're done you can save them and edit them with the RoImanager. 2012/12/14 Stoyan Pavlov <[hidden email]> > Hi Pieter, > If you hold Shift while drawing the second selection it is added to the > first without deleting it. > The results are saved in a text file, which is TAB-separated.

Press "b" (Image>Overlay>Add Selection) and the selection will be added to the overlay. Long click on a selection in the overlay to reactivate it. > Because, as you probably know, the last drawn selection always disappears when clicking next to it (to start drawing a new figure). > > Another question: I know I can save my results (density measurements), but how do you open this data after closing and restarting ImageJ? Use the File>Import>Results command. -wayne -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |
