How can i copy ROI in imagej?

[csadangi]

How can i copy a ROI and use it in the same image for different locations. Also, is it possible to have the ROI saved in the image as points? For ex: i have marked 12 ROI of same dimensions and i also want to save the location markups.

Dear Chinmaya,
I'm not really sure whether I understand correctly your problem and request.
Nevertheless if I'm not mistaken you can find all what you are looking for
within the RoiManager functionalities.
And you can add a single ROI to the RoiManager with Ctrl + T.
My best regards,
Philippe

Hi Chinmaya,

you can save a ROI to the ROI manager using the 't' key (or CTRL-t; on the Mac use CMD-t where CMD is the cloverleaf key).
Then drag the ROI to another location: Move the cursor over the ROI area, the cursor becomes an arrow when it can drag a ROI. Then add the ROI at the new location to the ROI Manager, etc.

With "Show all" in the ROI manager selected, if you save the image as TIFF or ZIP, it can store all the ROIs as an overlay. After loading the image from disk, Image>Overlay>To ROI Manager converts them into individual ROIs again.

Dear Phillipe

Thanks a lot for your message.

I still couldn't find how to copy a ROI and use it in different images or the same image (but different locations).

Hi Chinmaya,

Copy a ROI from one image to another: activate the image with the desired
ROI, then the image you want to put that ROI into, and hit Ctrl+Shift+E.
This triggers the Edit>Selection>Restore Selection that puts the selection
into the second image. To automate this, switch on macro recording:

selectWindow("image1.tif");
makeRectangle(132, 128, 384, 220);
selectWindow("image2.tif");
run("Restore Selection");

As you probably know, you can use the ROI manager to store ROIs, e.g.,

makeRectangle(244, 200, 476, 308);
// or makeOval(x-radius, y-radius, X, Y);
roiManager("Add");
run("Add to Manager");
// resize selection:
makeRectangle(640, 348, 604, 508);
roiManager("Add");
run("Add to Manager");
// move selection:
makeRectangle(844, 1704, 604, 508);

Of course, you have to provide the new coordinates/dimensions. Hope this
helps.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your wonderful suggestion on recording a macro.

can you suggest me how do i make a macro which will always select the region in the center of the image?
