Hi
Using the measuring tool, I get different measurements for horizontal and vertical lines of the same length (on the monitor). What is the reason for this and how to fix this? Thanks Supinder Bedi, PhD UT, Houston |
Hi,
My 1st guess is that you have not calibrated your monitor and that you are assuming that it is displaying square pixels. My Sony CRT monitor has a menu button that allows me to adjust the size of the image both vertically and horizontally. These sizes may vary if the power supply varies. One way to quickly check this is create a new square image in ImageJ using the File->New->Image... menu command. Set the image size to be a little less than your display's vertical resolution, then measure it. If its not square, adjust your monitor via its hardware buttons and your operating system's display resolution control. (In Windows, right click on the background, select Properties, then select the Settings tab.) See the ImageJ documentation for the "Set Scale..." command at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/menus/analyze.html on how to calibrate ImageJ to display dimensions in something other than pixels, including when vertical and horizontal scales are not equal. -- Harry Parker Senior Systems Engineer Digital Imaging Systems, Inc. ----- Original Message ---- From: "Bedi, Supinder" <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 1:06:38 PM Subject: Length Hi Using the measuring tool, I get different measurements for horizontal and vertical lines of the same length (on the monitor).
